Towards the coupling of microsphere resonators and self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots.

ORAL

Abstract

Coupling semiconductor quantum dots with microcavities is a challenge which opens the door to many interesting basic and applied experiments. Using microsphere resonators and self-assembled quantum dots has the advantage of allowing mechanical scanning of the resonator position to find a quantum dot in resonance (or far from it). We will show our progress toward that goal, which includes measuring the Q factor of the resonators in different conditions.
