Interferometric correlation spectroscopy in single quantum dots
Résumé
We report high-resolution spectroscopy by interferometric correlation measurements on the photoluminescence signal of a single quantum dot. We demonstrate that the insertion of a Michelson interferometer in the detection path gives a compact and flexible setup for linewidth measurements. We have used this technique to study self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots. We observe linewidth variations from one quantum dot to another, and we bring evidence of environment effects on the broadening processes. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
