The optical modal gain of CdZnTe/ZnTe double quantum dots was measured using a variable stripe length method, where large and small quantum dots are separated with a ZnTe layer. With a large (18 nm) separation layer thickness of ZnTe, two gain spectra were observed, which correspond to the confined exciton levels of the large and small quantum dots, respectively. With a small (6 nm) separation layer thickness of ZnTe, a merged single gain spectrum was observed. This can be attributed to a coupled state between large and small quantum dots. Because the density of large quantum dots (4 × 10 cm) is twice the density of small quantum dots (2 × 10 cm), the density of the coupled quantum dots is determined by that of small quantum dots. As a result, we found that the peak gain (123.9 ± 9.2 cm) with the 6 nm separation layer is comparable to that (125.2 ± 29.2 cm) of the small quantum dots with the 18 nm separation layer.
采用可变条纹长度法测量了CdZnTe/ZnTe双量子点的光学模态增益,其中大、小量子点被一层ZnTe层隔开。当ZnTe的隔离层厚度较大(约18 nm)时,观察到两个增益谱,它们分别对应于大、小量子点的受限激子能级。当ZnTe的隔离层厚度较小(约6 nm)时,观察到一个合并的单一增益谱。这可归因于大、小量子点之间的耦合态。由于大量子点的密度(4×10¹⁰ cm⁻²)是小量子点密度(2×10¹⁰ cm⁻²)的两倍,耦合量子点的密度由小量子点的密度决定。结果,我们发现6 nm隔离层的峰值增益(123.9±9.2 cm⁻¹)与18 nm隔离层的小量子点的峰值增益(125.2±29.2 cm⁻¹)相当。
