Abstract

Quantum-coherence induced group-velocity slowdown in a semiconductor quantum-dot structure is investigated using a many-body theory. The predictions are found to be noticeably different from those obtained in the independent-particle treatment typically used for describing atomic quantum coherence. In particular, Hartree-Fock renormalizations can lead to over two orders of magnitude reduction in the predicted pump intensity requirement for group-velocity slowdown to occur. Results are presented for the slowdown factor and slowdown-bandwidth product in a pulsed InAs-GaAs quantum-dot scheme. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
