RESOLVING THE TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF LINE BROADENING IN SINGLE QUANTUM EMITTERS

Light emission from solid-state quantum emitters is inherently prone to environmental decoherence, which results in a line broadening and in the deterioration of photon indistinguishability [1]. The temporal dynamics of the dephasing mechanisms usually elude established spectroscopy methods, such as μPL and Michelson interferometry, due to relatively long integration times required. Photon correlation Fourier spectroscopy (PCFS) [2] allows to study the temporal evolution of line broadening in various photonic structures. The time scales we probe range from a few nanoseconds to milliseconds and, simultaneously, the spectral resolution we achieve can be as small as ~2μeV. We discuss the practical implementation of PCFS and the possibility to use it to estimate the indistinguishability of consecutively emitted single photons for applications in quantum communication and photonic-based quantum information processing [3].
