Abstract

A highly sensitive heterodyne-detected photon echo enabled us to observe the signal from one layer of neutral self-assembled InP quantum dots under an electric field. The photon echo signal dramatically increased when charged InP quantum dots were neutralized with the application of negative electric bias. This fact suggests the hypothesis that charged quantum dots do not produce the photon echo. With the further increase of negative electric bias, photoluminescence was quenched and the photon echo decayed faster. The photon echo showed tunneling-induced dephasing and decayed nonexponentially, reflecting the non-Markovian nature of the tunneling process.
