We recently showed [1], that it is possible to measure transient reflection on single semiconductor quantum dots in the far field. Here we discuss how to improve those measurements.
The lifetime of an excited quantum dot is around of 300 ps. The time delay between two laser pulses in the old setup (repetition rate 78 MHz) is 12 ns. By changing the laser system to another one with a higher repetition rate (1 GHz) we reduce this time delay to 1 ns.
We are interested in the characterization of a single quantum dot two-level system and its interaction with environment through transient absorption spectroscopy. We will add plasmonic structures to do antenna enhanced single quantum dot spectroscopy.
