Abstract

The dynamical properties of InP-based quantum dot (QD) gain media are surveyed and analyzed for three time scales ranging from tens of picoseconds to less than 200 fs, where quantum coherent phenomena are observable. Each of these time scales determines the important properties of QD devices, i.e., modulation capabilities, nonlinear gain, and coherent light-matter interactions. Experimental investigations and modeling results are described, highlighting the state of the art in QD devices for the important 1550-nm telecom wavelength range.
