Abstract

The excitonic dynamics in a single quantum dot within a microcavity is investigated theoretically in terms of the perturbation treatment based on a unitary transformation. The excitonic Rabi oscillations with a damping rate are obtained explicitly. It is shown that the damping rate depends on exciton-phonon coupling constant and the vacuum Rabi frequency. Even at absolute zero temperature and in the vacuum cavity, the exciton-phonon interaction and exciton-photon interaction still cause excitonic decoherence. We also predict that under strong control fields the collapse and revival of excitonic Rabi oscillation may be observed for the quantum dots with small exciton-phonon coupling in the $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ limit.
