Full textThe consistent generation of single photons with well-defined properties in all degrees of freedom is crucial for the development of photonic quantum technologies. Today, the most prominent sources of single photons are based on the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) where a pump photon spontaneously decays into a pair of signal and idler photons inside a nonlinear medium. Cavity-enhanced SPDC, i.e., placing the nonlinear medium inside an optical cavity, is widely used to build photon-pair sources with increased brightness and tailored spectral properties. This spectral tailoring by selective adjustment of the cavity parameters is of particular importance for hybrid quantum technologies which seek to combine dissimilar quantum systems in a way that their advantages complement each other. This thesis provides a comprehensive theoretical and experimental analysis of triply-resonant cavity-enhanced SPDC. We improve the theoretical model found in the literature such that the influence of all resonator properties on the important experimental parameters (e.g., the generation rate) can be analyzed in detail. This convenient and highly accurate model of cavity-enhanced SPDC represents an important basis for the design and optimization of novel photonpair sources. The experimental part of this thesis presents the setup and characterization of a triply-resonant photon-pair source. We describe the digital control system used to operate this source over days without manual intervention, and we present a highly stable, narrow-linewidth monochromator based on cascaded, polarization-independent monolithic Fabry-Pérot cavities. Utilizing these temperature-stabilized cavities as a spectrum analyzer, we verify, for the first time, the frequency comb spectral structure of photons generated by cavity-enhanced SPDC. We further simulate and measure the impact of the pump resonance on the temporal wave-packets and the two-photon interference of signal and idler photons. Finally, we present a series of experiments in the context of hybrid quantum networks where we employ quantum frequency conversion (QFC) to transfer the generated signal photons into the telecommunication band. We verify the preservation of the temporal wave-packet upon QFC and highlight how quantum networks can benefit from advanced commercial telecommunication technologies.

Full textThis thesis deals with the development and investigation of optical absolute frequency references based on rovibronic transitions in molecular iodine. Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy methods are employed to resolve individual transitions of the hyperfine structure with linewidths below 1 MHz in the B-X system of molecular iodine at 532 nm with the second harmonic of Nd:YAG lasers. Electronic feedback control systems are employed for laser frequency stabilization to the line center of the optical transitions with a line splitting of 10^5. With the goal of a space qualified optical absolute frequency reference for future laser-interferometric space missions, two spectroscopy setups were designed and realized in quasi-monolithic, glass-ceramic setups as so called elegant bread board model and engineering model. These iodine references were characterized in detail with respect to their frequency stability and reproducibility and the engineering model was subject to environmental tests, including vibrations and thermal cycling to verify its applicability in future space missions. For the investigation of the frequency instability of these iodine references, a frequency stabilized laser system was realized based on a temperature controlled high Finesse ULE cavity for direct frequency comparisons at 1064 nm. Analysis of the frequency stability of the iodine references revealed exceptionally low fractional frequency instability of 6x10^−15 at 1 s, averaging down to less than 2×10^−15 at 100 s integration time, constituting the best reported stability achieved with iodine references to date. With the demonstrated performance, these absolute frequency references enable precision laser systems required for future space missions that are dedicated to, e.g., the detection of gravitational waves, mapping of the Earth’s gravitational field or precision test of fundamental physics.

Full textThe present work covers the fabrication and optical investigation of semiconductor microcavities for Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of exciton-polaritons. These microcavities consist of highly reflective distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) surrounding a ZnO-cavity as active medium. In the first step, the growth of DBRs was optimised with respect to exact thickness control and high reproducibility. For the active material, several growth strategies have been pursued, in order to optimise the conditions for the growth of planar thin films by pulsed laser deposition. Techniques like annealing or ion beam smoothing were successfuly applied in order to either improve the electronic properties or decrease the roughness of the ZnO-cavity layer. Furthermmore, a successful technology was developed in order to coat highly-crstalline free-standing ZnO nanowires with concentrical DBR shells. All samples have been investigated regarding their roughness and crystallinity as well as their optical properties. For the latter spatially and/or angular-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and reflection measurements have been carried out. Thereby, the strong coupling regime – being prerequisite for BEC – could be demonstrated in almost all of the synthesized structures. For the nanowire-based microcavities hints for an enhanced coupling strength have been found. In one of the planar samples, showing the high quality factor of 1000, the formation of BEC almost up to room temperature was observed and was studied as a function of temperature and detuning. Negative detuning was found to be mandatory for the formation of a BEC in ZnO-based microcavities. The distinct momentum- respective in-plane wavevector distribution of the condensate polaritons revealed a strong dynamic character of these particles at low temperatures

Full textDie auf verspannten Dünnschichten basierende „rolled-up nanotechnologie“ ist eine leistungsfähige Methode um dreidimensionale hohle Strukturen (Mikroröhrchen) aus nahezu jeder Art von Material auf einer großen Vielfalt von Substraten herzustellen. Ausgehend von der Möglichkeit der Skalierung des Röhrchendurchmessers und der Modifikation der Funktionalität des Röhrchens durch Einsatz verschiedener Materialien und Oberflächenfunktionalisierungen kann eine große Anzahl an verschiedenen Anwendungen ermöglicht werden. Eine Anwendung behandelt unter anderem on-chip Studien einzelner Zellen wobei die Mikroröhrchen, an die Größe der Zelle angepasste, Reaktionscontainer darstellen.

Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist es Mikrometer große optisch aktive Glasröhrchen herzustellen, diese mikrofluidisch zu kontaktieren und als Sensoren in Lab-on-a-Chip Systeme zu integrieren. Die integrierten Glasröhrchen arbeiten als optofluidische Ringresonatoren, welche die Veränderungen des Brechungsindex von Fluiden im inneren des Röhrchens durch Änderungen im Evaneszenzfeld detektieren können. Die Funktionsfähigkeit eines Demonstrators wird mit verschiedenen Flüssigkeiten gezeigt, dabei kommt ein Fotolumineszenz Spektrometer zum Anregen des Evaneszenzfeldes und Auslesen des Signals zum Einsatz.

Full textThe Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a proposed space-based gravitational wave detector that aims to detect gravitational waves in the low frequency range from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz, which is not accessible by ground-based detectors. It consists of three satellites whose distance is monitored by laser interferometry. The high frequency stability of the lasers required for this purpose is to be achieved with a three level noise reduction scheme. This includes a pre-stabilization stage that has to feature not only high stability but also tunability. One approach for such a tunable pre-stabilization is stabilizing a laser to an optical cavity with incorporated piezoelectric actuator. While this is not a new concept per se, it has never been realized with the required stability until now. Within this thesis, different types of piezo-tunable cavities have been built and thoroughly analyzed. It could be shown that the cavities fulfill all requirements for a tunable laser pre-stabilization for LISA. Furthermore, the work presented here gives a new insight into the potential of piezo-tunable cavities. Their performance is only one order of magnitude below that of the best non-tunable cavities of the same length and the measured noise can not be attributed to the integration of the piezo actuators. So, in principal, an even better performance should be achievable with piezo-tunable cavities. Indeed, theoretical considerations performed within this thesis reveal that the intrinsic stability of piezo-tunable cavities is only slightly inferior to that of rigid cavities. Beyond an application in LISA, highly stable piezo-tunable cavities are also valuable devices for numerous other applications. They can be used in cavity enhanced spectroscopy, as transfer cavities or as optical local oscillators in atomic and molecular spectroscopy.

Full textTechnologies relying on the basic laws of quantum mechanics are subject to huge research interest all over the world. They use the unique properties of single quantum particles, like quantum entanglement and superposition, to allow for ultra-fast computers and absolutely secure data transfer with photonic qubits. However, there are some challenges with quantum communication over long distances. The transfer range is limited due to unavoidable photon losses in transfer channels and classic signal amplification is not possible because of the ’no-cloning-theorem’. This issue could be solved by integrating quantum repeaters into the quantum channel between the transmitter and the receiver. An appropriate technology platform for the implementation of a quantum repeater should satisfy the criteria of compactness and scalability. In this context, semiconductor quantum dots become important. As two-level-systems, quantum dots are not only suited for the conversion and storage of quantum states and the generation of flying qubits, but also offer the advantage to be realized with standard semiconductor technology and the corresponding scalability. The key to successfully implement this technology is to combine quantum dots with a device that can trap and emit photons: a microcavity. This device allows for increasing the interaction between the two-level-system and a photon by localizing both at the same place for an extended period of time. In addition, cavity quantum electrodynamics effects can be used to create highly efficient sources of non-classical light for applications in quantum communications. In this context, semiconductor quantum dots are studied in this thesis by means of spectroscopic methods with regard to their potential for applications in quantum communication. The quantum dots consist of In(Ga)As embedded in a GaAs matrix and are integrated into microcavities with distributed bragg reflectors. Here, either planar structures are used to increase the out-coupling efficiency of photons by an asymmetric cavity design or micropillars are applied to facilitate the observation of light-matter coupling in the cavity quantum electrodynamics regime. Furthermore, different experimental setups were extended or built to investigate these structures, including photoluminescence, resonance fluorescence, reflection and photocurrent spectroscopy and setups for measuring the first and second order correlation function. Reflection- and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy of Micropillar Cavities with Very Large Quality Factors One of the most important characteristics of a microresonator is its quality factor. It influences not only the regime of the light-matter interaction but also the out-coupling efficiency of a quantum dot-micropillar cavity system. In this context, an analysis of the loss channels that lead to a reduction of the quality factor is performed. For this purpose, the quality factor of micropillar cavities with different diameters in the range 2 − 8 µm are measured by reflection- and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Because of the increased absorption due to nonresonant quantum dots and free carriers, the photon losses in photoluminescence are larger than in reflection spectroscopy. Therefore, the quality factors measured in reflection spectroscopy are larger for each diameter. Record quality factors of 184,000 ± 8,000 in photoluminescence and 268,000 ± 13,000 were obtained for a quantum dot-micropillar cavity with a diameter of 8 µm. Photocurrent Spectroscopy on Quantum Dot-Micropillar Cavities: An improved experimental setup and the exploitation of micropillar cavities with reduced dark currents made it possible to observe single quantum dot exciton lines in the photocurrent signal of an electrically contacted microresonator. This was the precondition for the electrical readout of light-matter coupling effects between a single quantum emitter and the fundamental mode of a micropillar cavity. For this purpose, photocurrent spectra were taken as a function of the detuning between the exciton and the cavity mode under excitation either on the pillar sidewall or on top of the pillar. In sidewall excitation, the Purcell effect, as a clear sign of the weak coupling regime, could be observed through a reduced photocurrent signal of the quantum dot in resonance with the cavity mode and a corresponding Purcell factor of Fp = 5,2 ± 0,5. In top excitation, the transmission of the resonator is a function of the wavelength, i.e. the maximum transfer of light into the resonator occurs when the laser wavelength coincides with an optical resonance of the micropillar cavity. Therefore, the effective excitation power of the excitonic transition depends on the spectral detuning between the exciton and the cavity mode. Due to this detuning dependent excitation intensity, the photocurrent signal shows an increase at resonance, which is in contrast to the sidewall excitation scheme. Also, in this case a Purcell factor of Fp = 4,3 ± 1,3 was extracted by a fit to the experimental data. In addition, the coherent optical control of an excitonic qubit in a quantum dot micropillar cavity is demonstrated. The coherent interaction of the two-level system with the light pulses of the excitation laser leads to Rabi oscillations in the occupation probability of the quantum dot ground state, which were monitored via the photocurrent originating from the quantum dot. By changing the polarization angle of the exciting laser, a variation of the coupling between the quantum emitter and the electromagnetic field was observed. Interference of Indistinguishable Photons Emitted from Semiconductor Quantum Dots: Most technological applications in the field of quantum communication, and especially quantum repeaters, require photon sources of not only single but also indistinguishable photons. In this context, experiments on the interference of indistinguishable photons emitted from semiconductor quantum dots in planar resonator structures were performed. First, the interference of consecutively emitted photons from the same quantum dot is studied. The investigation focuses on the influence of the excitation condition on the two-photon interference visibility. In nonresonant continuous wave excitation, a postselected value of the two-photon interference visibility of V = 0,39 is measured. To obtain the non-postselected value, the excitation of the single photon source has to be pulsed. Recapturing and dephasing processes of additional charge carriers reduce the nonpostselected visibility for nonresonant excitation into the wetting layer states to a value of 12%, while for p-shell excitation, a larger visibility of v = (69 ± 1) % was achieved in a Hong-Ou-Mandel setup.Furthermore, the interference of two photons from two spatially separated quantum dots is demonstrated. Here, a maximum visibility of v = (39 ± 2)% was achieved for equal emission energies of both single photon sources. By changing the emission energy of one of the two quantum dots via a variation of its temperature, the photons emitted from each source could be made increasingly distinguishable, resulting in a decrease of the interference visibility. To obtain even larger two-photon interference visibilities, a strict resonant excitation of the quantum dot exciton is very promising. Hence, a confocal dark field microscope was built for experiments in resonance fluorescence. Single photon emission as well as the Mollow triplet were already identified in resonance fluorescence

Full textAt the beginning, we improved the three dimensional optical confinement of the micropillars. A higher Q factor could be achieved mainly due to a further development of the fabrication process. The etching for the pillars was optimized in order to obtain very smooth and vertical sidewalls of the resonators. This reduces the losses due to scattering at the sidewalls of the micropillars und improves their optical confinement. Furthermore, the sample design of the cavities as well as the growth parameters of every single semiconductor layer was optimized. Thus, the quality factor of the pillars could be increased by the use of higher reflectivity mirrors and a matched V/III ratio for the different epitaxial layers. Hence, a record quality factor of about 90000 was achieved for an active micropillar with 26 (30) mirror pairs in the top (bottom) DBR and a diameter of 4 µm. In parallel to this, we made studies on the growth of self-assembled GaInAs quantum dots on GaAs substrates. Here, the nucleation of three dimensional islands as well as their optical properties were object of the investigation. The morphological properties of the dots were analyzed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and the optical properties were investigated by photoluminscence and photoreflectance measurements. The optical and particularly the morphological properties of the self-assembled GaInAs quantum dots were essentially improved. Due to a low strain nucleation layer with an indium content of 30 %, the dot density could be reduced to 6 - 9 x 10^9 cm^-2 and their geometric dimensions were increased to typical lengths between 50 and 100 nm and widths of about 30 nm. The lattice mismatch between the quantum dots and the surrounding matrix is decreased due to the reduced indium content. The minimized strain during the dot growth leads to an enhanced migration length of the deposited atoms on the surface, which again leads to the formation of enlarged quantum dots with a reduced density. Finally, the obtained findings of the MBE growth of microcavities, their fabrication and the self-assembled island growth of GaInAs on GaAs were used for the realization of further samples. Both fields were now combined and low strain GaInAs quantum dots were embedded into the microresonators. The high quality factor of the realized cavities in combination with enlarged quantum dots with a low dot density make these structures ideal candidates for fundamental research in the field of cavity quantum electrodynamics. As a highlight, these structures allowed for the first time the observation of strong coupling between light and matter in a semiconductor. In case of the low strain quantum dots with enlarged dimensions in the strong coupling regime, a vacuum Rabi-splitting of about 140 µeV between the cavity mode and the exciton could be observed. Due to an improved optical confinement of the microresonators, we were able to reach the strong coupling regime also for smaller quantum dots. For example a Rabi-splitting of about 60 µeV was measured for circular GaInAs dots with an indium content of 43 % and diameters between 20 and 25 nm. The strong coupling regime furthermore allows the estimation of the oscillator strength of the embedded quantum dots. Thus we could conclude an oscillator strength of approximately 40 - 50 for the enlarged quantum dot structures. In contrast to that, the slightly smaller dots with an indium content of 43 % only show an oscillator strength of about 15 - 20. Furthermore, doped microcavities were realized with regard to electrically driven devices. The high quality of the doped pillars allowed us the observation of pronounced quantum electrodynamic effects also for electrically pumped structures. The investigated electrically driven mircocavities with embedded GaInAs quantum dots were operating in the weak coupling regime and showed a clear Purcell effect with a Purcell factor in resonance of about 10. Due to the use of enlarged GaInAs quantum dots, we were able to reach the strong coupling regime with a vacuum Rabi-splitting of 85 µeV also for electrically driven micropillars

Full textThe goal of this thesis was to reduce the mode volume of microcavities. A reduced mode volume increases the strength of light matter coupling, which leads to lower lasing thresholds. The Purcell-factor, a measure for the spontaneous emission rate, is at maximum for a minimum mode volume. In the regime of strong coupling, a smaller mode volume leads to a larger Rabi splitting, which in turn increases the maximum operating temperature of a given device. Spectral features become more pronounced and the microcavity is more robust against disturbances caused by environmental fluctuations. The first approach to reduce the mode volume of a microcavity addresses the penetration depth of the optical field into the Bragg mirrors of a microcavity. It mainly depends on the refractive index contrast of the alternating layers of the Bragg mirror. The maximum contrast is realized by alternating layers consisting of semiconductor and air. Based on theoretical calculations, the mode volume can be decreased in the vertical direction by a factor of 6 compared to a conventional gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide microcavity. Therefore the aluminum containing layers of a conventional gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide microcavity are completely removed. The layer thicknesses have to be adjusted to still satisfy the Bragg condition. The successful fabrication of high quality gallium arsenide/air microcavities is demonstrated. Photoluminescence measurements reveal discrete resonances due to the finite dimensions of the structure. Power dependent measurements show a distinct threshold which indicates – combined with the resolution limited spectral linewidth – photon lasing. The dependence of the photonic resonance on the exact value of the refractive index of the Bragg mirror is used to determine the refractive index of gases channeled into the selfsupporting air layers. Alternatively, the photonic resonance of the structure can be tuned by injecting gas into the air layers. Both features could be demonstrated successfully. The structure not being suitable for electrical operation is the main disadvantage of this approach. In this case the second concept is the better solution. The alternative approach for the upper Bragg mirror of a conventional gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide microcavity exploits the Tamm-Plasmons. To achieve photonic confinement, the cavity is sandwiched between a lower Bragg mirror and a thin metal top mirror. At the semiconductor-metal interface, photonic Tamm-Plasmon states appear. Additionally, the metal mirror is used as electrical contact. The coupling of the quantum well exciton to the Tamm-Plasmon is presented. In the strong coupling regime, a complete electro-optical resonance tuning (i.e. from positive to negative tuning of the exciton resonance compared to the Tamm-Plasmon state) is demonstrated, exploiting the quantum confined Stark effect. The measurements confirm an increased Rabi splitting due to the reduced mode volume (factor of 2 reduced mode volume). Spectral shift and oscillator strength of the exciton in the electric field are consistent with theory and literature values. The most critical point of this approach lies within the limited Q-factor due to the large extinction coefficient of the top metal layer

Previous studies have demonstrated how quantum dots can be integrated with and linked to semiconductor resonator. For this reason, it is necessary to better understand and optimize the epitaxial growth of quantum dots. Within the context of this work, the Bragg-Resonators must be optimized so that Q factors of up to 165.000 can be realized. Extensive studies of these samplings indicate a complex dependency between Q factors and diameter of the micropillar. This is how a quasi-periodic Q factor oscillation looks. One factor for these oscillations is the composition of the side flanks of the resonator micropillars, caused by the various properties of AIAs and GaAs during processing the micropillar. In addition, both optically and electrically pumped single photon sources have been realized on the basis of this structure. Due to the fact that the position of the quantum dot within the resonator micropillar has a significant effect on the efficiency of the coupling between the resonator and the quantum dot, a further goal was to control the position of the quantum dot. With a precise positioning, it should be possible to place a micropillar directly over a quantum dot, thus the quantum dot is located in the center of the pillar mode. A particular challenge in the scope of work was to position the quantum dots with a distance of at least half of the target micropillar diameter,in other words, between 0,5μm and 2μm. The positioning must be done in such a way so that a AIAs/GaAs DBR micropillar can be processed over the quantum dot. Therefore processes were developed to place a lattice of holes on an MBE grown sample via Electron Beam Lithography. The lithographical process was optimized by additional steps of wet chemical cleaning, and cleaning with hydrogen under ultra high vacuum, to avoid defects during MBE overgrowth. InAs quantum dots have positions on a given structure in a distance of several micrometers to each other. It could be proved by processing gold pattern, that 30% of the quantum dots are placed within 50 nm precision and 60% within 100 nm . In the following work quantum dots have been placed in DBR micro pillars and photonic crystals. Because quantum dots have a wide spectral range and because they can be integrated in micropillars, they are also of interest for applications within telecommunication systems. Therefore the spectral range around 1300 nm and 1550 nm has to be re- ached to link them to fiber cable. Former studies have shown results tight under 1300nm. Nitrogen is an additional way to get InAs quantum emitting at 1300nm at 8 K. Until now research for InAs quantum dots containing nitrogen was focused on high density dots for laser application. The Dot- In-A-Well design was transferred, in this work, to this problem by using nitrogen in a well above the quantum dots. With this development, single quantum dots, emitting above 1300nm at 8 K, have been grown for the first time. The next step would be to integrated this InAs Quantum dots with the nitrogen well, within the micro pillar to achieve single photon sources at 1300nm

Full textEmploying low dimensional nanostructures as active medium in classical optoelectronic devices (for instance semiconductor laser diodes) as well as optical devices of the next generation (such as single photon sources or sources of entangled photon pairs promises enormous potential. Yet, despite some exceptions (for example QDLasers inc.), quantum dot (QD)-based semiconductor lasers can hardly compete with devices exploiting higher dimensional gain material so far. Hence, using QDs as single photon emitters seems very promising. In order to achieve compatibility on the market, some urgent pre-requisites still need to be met in such devices besides the surpression of multiphoton emission: • Efficiency: Only a highly efficient single photon source can be reasonably employed in applications. • Electrical operation: In order to achieve a high integration density and for reasons of user friendlyness, the device needs to be driven electrically. • Scalability: The scalable fabrication of single photon sources is pre-requisite and one of the greatest technological challenges. • Temperature: Eventually, single photon sources will only be established in the wide field of secure data transmission if their operation at room temperature can be assured. In this work, basic studies were carried out especially devoted to the progress in the first three challenges. On the one hand, electrically driven single photon sources based on coupled QD-microcavities were realized and optimized by employing conventional self organized InAs QDs as active material. On the other hand, in order to facilitate a scalable integration of single QDs into microcavities, directed QD nucleation on pre-patterned substrate was optimized. These site-controlled QDs were at last integrated into resonator devices. In order to realize highly efficient, electrically driven single photon sources, at first the growth of binary Stranski-Krastanov InAs QDs was optimized and their emission properties were investigated in detail. By introducing Silicon atoms in the vicinity of the QD-layer, the emitters could be negatively charged. The resulting bright trion state of the QDs can subsequently be exploited as the energetic eigenstate of the system for the extraction of single photons. By integrating these charged QDs in contacted, Bragg-reflector based micropillars, single photon sources were realized exploiting light-matter coupling to enhance the device’s efficiency. Based on theoretical considerations, the grown layer sequence was optimized to an extent that eventually an electrically driven single photon source with an emission rate of 47 MHz and an unprecedented device efficiency of 34 % in the weak coupling regime could be demonstrated. Since the effects of light-matter coupling between QD and resonator rely on the QD’s position in the device, a combination of site-controlled QD-growth and device alignment is almost inevitable for a scalable, deterministic fabrication of perfectly aligned emittercavity systems. Therefore, existing concepts for ordered QD-growth were adapted and improved [KH07]: Ordered QD-growth on periods comparable to dimensions of optical resonators between 500 nm und 4 μm was realized. By carefully adjusting the growth and process conditions, formation of QD-molecules on nucleation sites could be controlled and supressed almost entirely. Carrying out a systematic optimization of the QD’s optical properties, emitters with single QD-linewidth around 100 μeV were realized. This is pre-requsite for the study of pronounced light-matter interaction in microcavities. Finally, the integration of such QDs in optically and electrically driven microresonators resulted in devices demonstrating some of the fundamental properties requested from a single photon source. Pronounced signatures of the weak light-matter coupling between a site-controlled QD in a photonic crystal cavity, a microdisk cavity and micropillar cavities were observed. Furthermore, single photon emission of a spectrally resonant system of sitecontrolled QD and micropillar cavity under pulsed optical excitation was unambigiously demonstrated. Beyond this, micropillar cavities with site-controlled QDs were electrically driven for the first time, which is pre-requisite for the scalable fabrication of efficient single photon sources

Full textStrong light-matter interaction in semiconductor microcavities leads to the formation of eigenmodes with mixed light-matter characteristics, so-called polaritons. The unique properties of these bosonic quasiparticles may be exploited to realize novel devices, such as polariton-lasers which rely on stimulated scattering instead of stimulated emission, which in turn triggers photon-lasing. Polariton states are directly accessible in spectroscopic experiments and can be subjected to almost arbitrary potential landscapes which could lead to numerous applications, for instance in quantum simulation or emulation. External electric and magnetic fields can be used to gain insights into polaritons that are not available in all-optical experiments. The matter part of the hybrid modes is accessed by the external fields that do not interact with purely photonic modes. Furthermore, in-situ manipulation of the polariton energy by external fields could be used to create dynamic potentials. This thesis is therefore focussed on studying different aspects of light-matter coupling under the influence of external fields. To this end, structures and devices tailored to the specific experiments were fabricated and investigated in electro-optical or magneto-optical measurements. Doped microcavities with electrical contacts on the sample surface and back side were used to apply electric fields along the growth direction, i.e. in vertical geometry. The energy shift in an electric field, the so-called Stark effect, was investigated in these devices. In this work, measurements of the polariton Stark effect, which has previously been demonstrated in the linear regime, were systematically extended to the nonlinear regime of polariton-lasing with special attention paid to the sample geometry and its influence on the observable energy shifts. Investigations of samples with planar, semi-planar and micropillar geometries show that lateral carrier confinement in a micropillar leads to an inversion of the energy shift. While in this geometry a blueshift with increasing field strength is measured, which can be explained by screening effects, the expected redshift is restored in planar and semi-planar geometries. In both cases, detuning-dependent energy shifts of up to hundreds of µeV are observed in good agreement with values calculated with a model of coupled harmonic oscillators. Furthermore, comparable shifts below and above the polariton-lasing threshold are observed both in the semi-planar and in the micropillar geometry. The polariton Stark effect may therefore be considered as criterion to unambiguously distinguish optically excited polariton- and photon-lasers. If the electric field is not oriented along the growth direction but perpendicular to it, i.e. in the plane of the quantum wells, then field ionization of electron-hole pairs occurs already at low field strengths. To realize this field geometry, a process was developed to deposit electrical contacts directly onto the quantum wells of an undoped microcavity which are partially exposed in an etching step. The polariton emission can be suppressed by applying voltage to the lateral contacts and the dependency of the polariton occupation upon the electric field is reproduced using a set of coupled rate equations. This novel contacting technique furthermore allows to measure the photocurrent in the quantum wells which is proportional to the free carrier density. The two thresholds of nonlinear emission, which are commonly observed in similar samples, can then be shown to rely on fundamentally different gain mechanisms. A kink in the power dependence of the photocurrent is observed at the second threshold, where free carriers act as reservoir for photon-lasing which is why their density is partially clamped at threshold. The first threshold on the other hand, which is attributed to polariton-lasing, has no influence on the linear increase of the photocurrent with increasing excitation power, since there bound electron-hole pairs act as reservoir. The experimentally determined power dependence of the photocurrent is reproduced qualitatively over the whole range of excitation powers using adapted rate equation models for polariton- and photon-lasers. Finally, a magnetic field is used to reveal the impact of light-matter interactions on electron-hole coupling in the regime of very strong coupling. By measuring the diamagnetic shift, the average electron-hole separations of lower and upper polariton are determined for two microcavities with different light-matter coupling strengths. At small coupling strength, describing the hybrid modes as linear combinations of uncoupled light and matter modes is a valid approximation. At large coupling strength, significant asymmetries between lower and upper polariton are observed. With increasing detuning, the upper polariton diamagnetic shift increases up to 2.1 meV, almost an order of magnitude larger than the lower polariton shift (0.27 meV) at the same detuning and more than twice as large as the bare quantum well diamagnetic shift. Thus, the lower polariton is described by a wavefunction with a matter part exhibiting a decreased average electron-hole separation. For the upper polariton, this average radius is much larger than that of an electron-hole pair in the uncoupled quantum well which can be explained by photon-mediated interactions with excited and continuum states of the quantum well

Full textThe present work deals with the light-matter interaction in quantum dot microcavities and their vertical and lateral emission properties. Quantum dots are nanoscopic structures, in which charge carriers are confi� ned in all three dimensions below the de-Broglie wavelength. As a consequence, the density of electronic states becomes singular and quantum dots are therefore referred to as arti� cal atoms. To modify the emission properties of quantum dots, they are introduced in micropillar cavities. These consist of a GaAs � -cavity, which is sandwiched between two Bragg mirrors of alternating layers of GaAs and AlAs. The micropillar resonators provide both a vertical emission via Fabry-P� erot modes, as well as a lateral emission via whispering gallery modes. The light-matter interaction between the microcavity modes and the localized charge carriers, called exzitons, can be devided into two regimes. In the strong coupling regime, the spontaneous emission process becomes reversible and an emitted photon can be reabsorbed by the quantum dot. The theoretical description of the coupling of a two-level emitter with a photonic mode is given by the Jaynes-Cummings model. For multiple two-level emitters, it can be extended to the Tavis-Cummings model. In the weak coupling regime the spontaneous emission rate of a quantum dot can be increased by the Purcell e� ect. Here, microlasers with high spontaneous emission coupling factors and low lasing thresholds can be realized. In order to investigate the samples, especially the methods of microelectroluminescence and photon correlation measurements are applied
