Theory of light scattering from semiconductor quantum dots: Excitation frequency dependent emission dynamics

Abstract

We present a microscopic model for the dynamic scattering and emission spectrum of a semiconductor quantum dot, after coherent optical excitation. We investigate the spectral properties and the emission dynamics of the different scattering and emission contributions considering a V-type semiconductor quantum dot model under resonant conditions and include the coupling to LO-phonons via higher order Born approximations. This theory helps identifying the different contributions to the spectrum via time resolved calculations.
