Photon echoes in semiconductor nanostructures

doped with resident carriers

Dr. Ilya Akimov

Experimentelle Physik 2, Technische Universität Dortmund, Germany

Optical excitation of trions in semiconductor nanostructures provides a pathway for manipulation of the resident electron spins. We use spontaneous (two-pulse) and stimulated (three-pulse) photon echoes for studying the coherence evolution of the optical excitations in the ensemble of trions which are localized in semiconductor quantum wells and quantum dots. The Application of a transverse magnetic field leads to the Larmor precession of the resident electron spin, which shuffles the coherence between optically accessible and inaccessible states. This results in several spectacular phenomena such as magnetic field-induced oscillations of the photon echo signal and long-lived stimulated photon echo on sub-microsecond time scales.
