Towards a high-cooperativity strong coupling of a quantum-dot in a tunable microcavity — •Sebastian Starosielec, Lukas E. Greuter, Andreas V. Kuhlmann, and Richard J. Warburton — University of Basel, Departement of Physics, Switzerland

An enhanced interaction between photons and quantum emitters offers a rich field of quantum applications, including single photon transistors and emitter-emitter coupling. Tailoring the vacuum properties of high-Q, low mode-volume optical resonators facilitates this enhanced interaction and ultimately allows a coherent and reversal exchange of energy quanta, challenging to achieve at optical frequencies in solid-state system. We investigate this strong coupling regime of an InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot with a high-finesse tunable microcavity [1,2] by means of high resolution laser spectroscopy with a polarization-based dark-field detection [3] under weak resonant excitation. High signal-to-noise spectra show a clear anti-crossing feature with state-of-art exciton/cavity cooperativity (C=5.5). Analyzing the resonance lineshapes, a spurious dispersive contribution to the exciton resonance is identified. In all likelihood a spectral fluctuation rather than a true decoherence process, the dephasing effect reduces the cooperativity from a bare value of C=9.1. Aiming for the high-cooperativity regime, besides a high-Q cavity and low mode-volume, we stress the point that equal efforts need to be taken towards lifetime-limited emitter linewidths.
