Photon trains and lasing : The periodically pumped quantum dot

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We propose to pump semiconductor quantum dots with surface acoustic waves which deliver an alternating periodic sequence of electrons and holes. In combination with a good optical cavity such regular pumping could entail anti-bunching and sub-Poissonian photon statistics. In the bad-cavity limit a train of equally spaced photons would arise.
