Abstract

Non-linear carrier-photon dynamics are studied for optically pumped InAs quantum dot (QD) laser structures, using excitation into the GaAs barrier by two degenerate pump and probe laser pulses. The non-linear emission from QDs excited by the pump pulse is further amplified by the probe excitation. By varying the delay between the two pulses a very fast decay of the QD excited state emission is measured. Notably slower dynamics for the QD ground state are observed, governed by state filling phenomena, which result in gain saturation.
