Nonlinear down-conversion in a single quantum dot

In the field of quantum dot optics, the exploitation of nonlinear processes remained so far limited to the coherent control of population and to the resonant 2-photon excitation of biexcitons. With our current work we have pioneered a new concept, which enables the control of single photon emission by a nonlinear down-conversion process. Starting from a biexciton state lB>, a tunable control laser field defines a virtual state in a stimulated process (SDC). From there, spontaneous emission to the ground state lG> leads to optically controlled single photon emission. Based on this concept, the energy and polarization of the single photon emission can be controlled in a complementary way by a classical laser field. The results lay the foundations for a new generation of nonlinear optical devices based on quantum optical principles.
