Abstract
A heterodyne-detected accumulated photon-echo spectroscopy has been applied for the first time to the study of the excitonic dephasing dynamics in CuCl spherical quantum dots embedded in a glass matrix; this spectroscopy has the advantage that a hole-burning spectrum can be extracted from the Fourier-cosine transformation of the signal profile. Owing to this advantage, we reveal that an anomalously slow rise of the time-integrated echo signal at low temperatures, which was also observed in the previous ordinary photon-echo spectroscopy but the origin was left unknown, is caused by a spectral antihole. From the decay (single exponential one) part of the signal which is found to be not influenced by this anomaly, we have obtained rich unambiguous information about the dephasing time T2 such as the temperature dependence, which is found to be essentially the same as the previous one that one might cast some doubt on.
