Coherent versus incoherent light scattering from a quantum dot
Coherent versus incoherent light scattering from a quantum dot
We analyze the light scattered by a single InAs quantum dot interacting with a resonant continuous-wave laser. High-resolution spectra reveal clear distinctions between coherent and incoherent scattering, with the laser intensity spanning more than four orders of magnitude. We find that the fraction of coherently scattered photons can approach unity …
