Abstract
We propose methods for the realization of a continuous two-photon source using a coherently driven quantum dot embedded inside a photonic crystal cavity. We analyze the steady state population in quantum dot energy levels and field inside the cavity mode. We find conditions for population inversion in coherently driven and incoherently driven quantum dots. We discuss the effect of phonon coupling using the recently developed polaron transformed master equation at low temperatures. We show that on increasing temperature, two-photon gain decreases and single photon gain increases, due to phonon-assisted cavity mode feeding. We also propose a scheme for generating a squeezed state of field using four wave mixing.
