The magnetic state of a single magnetic ion (M n 2+) embedded in an individual quantum
dot is optically probed using microspectroscopy. The fine structure of a confined exciton in …

Abstract 'Motional narrowing'refers to the striking phenomenon where the resonance line of
a system coupled to a reservoir becomes narrower on increasing the reservoir fluctuation. A …

We present an analysis of time-and polarization-resolved data taken in
microphotoluminescence experiments on individual CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots grown by …

Spectral diffusion is a result of random spectral jumps of a narrow line as a result of a
fluctuating environment. It is an important issue in spectroscopy, because the observed …

We report on the resonant emission in coherently driven single semiconductor quantum
dots. We demonstrate that an ultraweak nonresonant laser acts as an optical gate for the …

Spherical CdSe nanocrystals capped by a CdS rod-like shell exhibit interesting spectral
dynamics on the single particle level. Spectral boxcar averaging reveals a high degree of …

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the resonant emission of single InAs/GaAs
quantum dots in a planar microcavity. Due to the presence of at least one residual charge in …

Semiconductor quantum dots are very efficient sources of single and highly
indistinguishable photons. These properties rely on the possibility to coherently control the …

When a single emitter is excited by two phase-coherent pulses with a time delay, each of the
pulses can lead to the emission of a photon pair, thus creating a “time-bin-entangled” state …

We demonstrate a universal correlation between the spectral linewidth and position of the
excitonic transition in the spectral jitter observed from single elongated colloidal quantum …
