Generation processes of superfluorescence of biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots by one- and two-photon resonant excitation

Abstract

Abstract We investigated the influence of excitation processes of a biexciton on the generation of superfluorescence, which is pulsed radiation from coherently coupled two-level systems, from biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots. Two excitation processes of biexcitons were examined: resonant two-photon excitation of biexcitons, and resonant one-photon excitation of excitons. The excitation density dependence of the time-resolved photoluminescence was measured. The results showed that for one-photon excitation, a stronger peak intensity, longer delay time and wider pulse width were observed compared to resonant two-photon excitation. The high density of the excited dots in the one-photon excitation process results in the strong pulse, while an initial population of excitons results in a suppression of coherent coupling.
