Resonance Fluorescence of an InGaAs Quantum Dot in a Planar Cavity Using Orthogonal Excitation and Detection12:57

Resonance Fluorescence of an InGaAs Quantum Dot in a Planar Cavity Using Orthogonal Excitation and Detection

9.6K
Resonant excitation of a single self-assembled quantum dot can be achieved using an excitation mode orthogonal to the fluorescence collection mode. We demonstrate a method using the waveguide and Fabry-Perot modes of a planar microcavity surrounding the quantum dots. The method allows complete freedom in the detection...

Production and Targeting of Monovalent Quantum Dots

26.0K
We provide detailed instructions for the preparation of monovalent targeted quantum dots (mQDs) from phosphorothioate DNA of defined length. DNA wrapping occurs in high yield, and therefore, products do not require purification. We demonstrate the use of the SNAP tag to target mQDs to cell-surface receptors for live-cell imaging applications.

Compact Quantum Dots for Single-molecule Imaging

18.7K
We describe the preparation of colloidal quantum dots with minimized hydrodynamic size for single-molecule fluorescence imaging. Compared to conventional quantum dots, these nanoparticles are similar in size to globular proteins and are optimized for single-molecule brightness, stability against photodegradation, and resistance to nonspecific binding to proteins and...

Synthesis of Cd-free InP/ZnS Quantum Dots Suitable for Biomedical Applications

14.5K
In this protocol, the synthesis of Cd-free InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) is detailed. InP-based QDs are gaining popularity due to the toxicity of Cd2+ ions that may be released through nanoparticle degradation. After synthesis, QDs are solubilized in water using an amphiphilic polymer for use in biomedical...

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Quantum Dot Lasers
  • Semiconductor Optics

Background:

  • Optically injected semiconductor lasers are key for studying nonlinear dynamics and generating excitable pulses.
  • Traditional models, like the Adler phase equation, describe excitable pulses arising from small perturbations of stable states, often with 2π phase rotation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel variation of type I excitability in a dual-state quantum dot laser system.
  • To demonstrate a phenomenon not explicable by the standard Adler phase equation.
  • To analyze the underlying physics, bifurcation conditions, and temporal evolution of these excitable pulses.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental operation of a dual-state quantum dot laser, focusing emission on the excited state.
  • Optical injection to activate and phase-lock the ground state while suppressing the excited state.
  • Numerical analysis alongside experimental observations to understand system dynamics.

Main Results:

  • Observed ground-state emission dropouts correlated with excited-state pulses near the phase-locking boundary.
  • Demonstrated bounded phase rotations in the ground state due to interactions with the excited state.
  • Confirmed that this excitability variation deviates from Adler model predictions.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-state quantum dot lasers exhibit a unique type of excitability beyond the scope of the Adler phase equation.
  • The interaction between ground and excited states leads to distinct pulse dynamics and phase behavior.
  • Experimental and numerical findings show excellent agreement, validating the analysis of bifurcation and time evolution.
