Abstract
Recent experiments have demonstrated that for a quantum dot in an optical resonator, off-resonant cavity-mode emission can occur even for detunings of the order of 10 meV. We show that Coulomb-mediated Auger processes based on additional carriers in delocalized states can facilitate this far off-resonant emission. A theoretical approach is developed for the nonperturbative treatment of the Auger-assisted quantum-dot carrier recombination. Using this method we present numerical calculations of the far off-resonant cavity feeding rate and cavity mean photon number, confirming efficient coupling at higher densities of carriers in the delocalized states. In comparison to fast Auger-like intraband scattering processes, we find a reduced overall efficiency of Coulomb-mediated interband transitions due the required electron-hole correlations for the recombination processes.
