Carrier relaxation in quantum dots by means of time resolved transmission in two color pump probe experiments — •Hannes Kurtze1, Robert Heinle1, Manfred Bayer1, Jan Seebeck2, Frank Jahnke2, Dirk Reuter3, and Andreas Wiek3 — 1Experimentelle Physik Universität Dortmund, D-44221 Dortmund, Germany — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Bremen, 28334 Bremen, Germany — 3Angewandte Festkörperphysik, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, D-44780 Bochum, Germany
Systematic time-resolved pump-probe studies with independent variation of pump and probe energies have been performed on InAs/GaAs quantum dot samples covering a wide range of confinement parameters. From these studies a phonon bottleneck for carrier relaxation can be excluded for small delay times after pump excitation. The use of time resolved transmission instead of time resolved photoluminescence offers also the opportunity to observe optically inactive carrier populations and their dynamics. Typical results of such measurements will be given in this talk.
