Excitation of semiconductor nanosystems by a few-photon frequency-multimode optical field

Abstract

Abstract The excitation of a semiconductor quantum nanosystem induced by a frequency-multimode nonclassical electromagnetic field is analytically investigated. The possibility to control the features and dynamics of different excitation channels by varying the weights and initial energy distribution in the considered field spectral modes is demonstrated. Strong coupling between different frequency modes is found to arise due to their interaction with electronic subsystem and is shown to influence dramatically on the excitation. The peculiarities of the excitation process induced by a multi-frequency Schmidt mode, which characterizes spectral distribution of squeezed vacuum light, are revealed. The optimal spectral profile of the Schmidt mode and initial energy distribution of different field spectral components providing the most efficient excitation of a nanosystem are found.
