Abstract

Travelling coherent phonons can be actively used to manipulate the optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures on the picosecond time scale. Phonon wave packets that interact with a quantum dot (QD) ensemble can significantly vary the output intensity of a laser, which uses the QDs as active medium. Based on a recently developed theoretical model to describe this coupled phonon-QD-photon system, we here study how the laser response on phonon wave packets depends on several parameters, for example phonon pulse properties and laser pump rate.
