Semiconductor-based quantum dot emitters are an attractive source for generating pairwise photonic entanglement and a promising constituent of photonic quantum technologies. However, quantum dots typically suffer from luminescence blinking, lowering the efficiency of the source and hampering their scalable application in quantum networks. We investigate the spectral and quantum optical response of the quantum dot emission by introducing an additional wavelength tunable gate laser. Under two-photon resonant excitation of the neutral biexciton in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot, the blinking of the neutral exciton emission was observed. Our finding demonstrates that the emission blinking can be actively suppressed by controlling the balance of free electrons and holes in the vicinity of the quantum dot thereby significantly increasing the quantum efficiency by 30%.
