| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Quantum dot photonic crystal nanocavity coupled systems have been studied in terms of the two photon interaction. The concept of self-frequency conversion, in which both lasing oscillation and nonlinear optical frequency conversion occur using a single laser crystal, has been applied to nanocavities, leading to the demonstration of self-frequency conversion nanolasers. Combining with a broad quantum dot gain, micro integration of the self-frequency conversion lasers enables the realization of a visible nanolaser array, covering an almost entire visible range. In addition, the efficiency of the frequency conversion has been studied in terms of the statistics of the intracavity photons. Furthermore, a method to extract the direct free space spontaneous emission from strongly coupled quantum dot nanocavity systems has been developed. These results will provide significant insights for the development of quantum optical light sources based on the intra-cavity two photon physics.
