Simulating the influence of spectral jitter and phonons on four-wave mixing signals of single quantum dots — •Thilo Hahn, Daniel Wigger, and Tilmann Kuhn — Institut für Festkörpertheorie, Universität Münster, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10, 48149 Münster

Four-wave mixing (FWM) micro-spectroscopy is a powerful technique to investigate the dynamics of charge carriers in semiconductor nanostructures. By using a heterodyne interferometry technique one is able to detect coherence as well as occupation dynamics of a single quantum dot [1]. We model the QD exciton as a two-level system, excited by a series of ultrafast pulses. Additionally we take the pure dephasing coupling to a discrete phonon mode into account. By introducing characteristic functions the dynamics of the entire exciton-phonon system can be calculated analytically in the limit of ultrafast optical excitation [2]. We will present photon echo formation as a consequence of a randomization of the transition energy due to for example charge fluctuations [3]. Then we take the coupling to a discrete phonon mode into account and discuss its impact on FWM signals.
