Self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) can be used in an optical detection scheme to probe their electrical and spin environment on the nanoscale [1, 2]. In resonance fluorescence, such a nano-electrometer could be also used to investigate transport phenomena, like single electron tunneling into a single quantum dot [3].
In this work, we combine the optical detection with transport measurements by using two quantum dots that are coupled by Coulomb interaction. We perform resonant time-resolved optical measurements on a single InAs QD, which acts as a nanoscale electrometer for detection of tunneling events into a second, nearby dot. The latter is charged by applying a gate voltage. Once an electron is captured in the second QD, its electric field changes the exciton transition energy by the quantum-confined Stark effect of the first dot, which can be observed in a time-resolved measurement.
