Consequences of light-hole and heavy-hole mixing on the optical properties of III-V-semiconductor quantum dots — •Fritz Weyhausen-Brinkmann1, Ranber Singh1,2, and Gabriel Bester1,21Universität Hamburg, Grindelallee 117, 20146 Hamburg, Germany. — 2The Hamburg Centre for Ultrafast Imaging, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg, Germany.

We calculate the spin-resolved light-hole and heavy-hole (LH-HH) band mixing in III-V-semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The exciton emission spectrum of these QDs show optical anisotropy in their growth plane and the directions of polarization are strongly influenced by the LH-HH mixing. In the field of quantum information and quantum processing QDs are hot candidates, e.g. as single photon sources or quantum repeaters, which requires a good understanding of their optical properties. We are using the atomistic empirical pseudopotential approach including spin-orbit coupling to determine the spin-resolved LH-HH mixing of the single particle wave function as a function of strain for different types of QDs [1]. We find that the parallel spin of the light-hole is not negligible in contradiction to earlier model [2] and highlight the consequences of this finding on the polarization anisotropy.
