In situ tuning biexciton antibinding-binding transition and fine structure splitting through hydrostatic pressure in single InGaAs quantum dots
ORAL
Abstract
We demonstrate that the exciton and biexciton emission energies as well as exciton fine structure splitting (FSS) in single (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) can be efficiently tuned using hydrostatic pressure \textit{in situ} in an optical cryostat at up to 4.4 GPa. The maximum exciton emission energy shift is up to 380 meV, and the FSS is up to 150 $\mu$eV. We successfully produce a biexciton antibinding-binding transition in QDs, which is the key experimental condition that generates color- and polarization-indistinguishable photon pairs from the cascade of biexciton emissions and that generates entangled photons via a time-reordering scheme. We also perform the atomistic pseudopotential calculations on realistic (In,Ga)As/GaAs QDs to understand the physical mechanism underlying the hydrostatic pressure-induced effects.
