Optical measurement of a quantum dot state in a microdisk by a Stark transducer

Abstract

Abstract A spectroscopic method for determining the number of electrons in a quantum dot (QD) located inside a microdisk resonator is proposed. A transducer with the form of a ring structure composed of single-electron QDs is an auxiliary element used to enhance the interaction of laser photons with the QD and with the microdisk. The microdisk parameters are calculated to ensure an efficient energy exchange between the disk modes and the transducer QDs. The influence of the Stark and Förster effects on the measurement accuracy is studied. The optimal measurement regime is shown to be achieved provided that both effects are compensated.
