Phase and Amplitude Control of Optical Properties of Quantum Dot Molecules

Article Preview

Abstract:

We investigate the optical properties of a weak probe field in an asymmetry semiconductor double QDs system. We apply a coupling and a probe field to the system and it is shown that in the presence of interdot tunneling, the dispersion and absorption properties of the system can be controlled by the amplitude and relative phase of applied fields. Moreover, it is demonstrated that just by changing the relative phase of applied fields, the slope of dispersion is changed from positive to negative, corresponding to the superluminal light propagation.
