Abstract

Theoretical investigations of the switch-on behavior of semiconductor quantum dot based nanocavity laser devices are presented. From a microscopic treatment of the carrier-carrier and carrier-photon interaction, we find a fast switch-on of the laser device that is enabled by ultrafast carrier dynamics and heavily damped relaxation oscillations. We show that the timescales of the dynamics within the continuum states and the quantum dot states are strongly coupled and investigate the time dependence of the non-equilibrium scattering rates in detail.
