Abstract

Luminescence intensity autocorrelation (LIA) is employed to investigate coupling dynamics between (In,Ga)As QDs and a high-Q (~7000) resonator with ultrafast time resolution (150 fs), below and above the lasing threshold at T = 5 K. For QDs resonant and non-resonant with the cavity we observe both a six-fold enhancement and a 0.77 times reduction of the spontaneous emission rate, respectively. In addition, LIA spectroscopy reveals the onset of coherent coupling at the lasing threshold through qualitative changes in the dynamic behavior and a tripling of the resonant QD emission rate.
