Role of incoherent pumping in a strongly coupled system of exchange-split excitons and pillar-microcavities
Abstract:
We present an experimental study of the influence of incoherent pumping upon the strong coupling between quantum dot excitons and a micropillar-cavity. For two exchange-split excitons, the inherent difference in the detuning with respect to the cavity modes leads to an unequal reduction of Rabi splitting for two orthogonal polarizations as excitation power is increased, which could destroy the indistinguishable decay paths built by the coupled states. This work prompts a careful implementation of optical pumping for the pursuit of polarization-entangled photon pairs in the strong coupling regime.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
