Interaction between a semiconductor quantum dot microcavity and a squeezed vacuum in a cavity: Effects on the photon statistics

Abstract

The interaction between a squeezed vacuum and a semiconductor quantum dot microcavity is studied. The influence of this interaction on the photon statistics, one measurable quantity, is investigated in the presence of the electron-phonon interaction. When the system interacts with the squeezed vacuum, the non-classical features of the emitted photons are studied. It turns out that the photon counting statistics depend on the detuning and temperature. The emitted photons also exhibit non-classical features such as anti-bunching, and their non-classical features depend on the degree of squeezing. Moreover, it is found that the stronger the squeezed vacuum, the weaker the non-classical features in the photon counting statistics. © 2013 Astro Ltd.
