Theory few photon dynamics in electrically pumped light emitting quantum dot devices

摘要

Quantum dot based light emitters can be used as sources of nonclassical light. We focus on the theory of InAs/GaAs quantum dots embedded in a two dimensional wetting layer at low electrical pump currents but strongly correlated electron-photon dynamics. For this purpose a self-consistent theory of transport and emission is developed. A substantial carrier heating in such devices is predicted and the relation of electrical pumping and single photon emission is analyzed within the photon-probability-cluster-expansion.
