OPTICAL TESTING OF A MULTI QUANTUM WELL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

OPTICAL TESTING OF A MULTI QUANTUM WELL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

Tech for Transfer

TTO

16-12-2015

A pump light pulse generates a strain pulse in a sample that includes quantum wells. The strain pulse triggers a change in an optical property of the sample producing a signal. The signal is measured using a probe light pulse which is delayed in relation to the pump light pulse. Parameters of interest of the sample, including the quantum wells, can be deduced from the characteristics of the signal. For discerning between various components of the stress in the quantum wells, a lead pump pulse preceding the pump light pulse may also be used. A system for the application of such methods is also disclosed.

Photon pair source controlled by quantum dots

PHOTON PAIR SOURCE CONTROLLED BY QUANTUM DOTS

Tech for Transfer

TTO

18-12-2015

The invention presents a method for the production of a photon pair source to generate entangled photon pairs, where the operational behaviour of the source is determined by adjusting the fine structure splitting of the excitonic energy level of one or more quantum dots. The fine structure splitting can be adjusted by depositing the quantum dot(s) on a particular crystal face of a semiconductor substrate.
