Resonant tunneling of quantum dot in a microcavity

Published 2002-04-09, updated 2002-04-10Version 2

We propose to measure Purcell effect by observing the current through a semeiconductor quantum dot embedded in a microcavity. An electron and a hole are injected separately into the quantum structure to form an exciton and then recombine radiatively. The stationary current is shown to be altered if one varies the cavity length or the exciton energy gap. Therefore, the Purcell effect can be observed experimentally by measuring the current through the quantum structure. In addition, we also find superradiance of excitons between quantum dots may also be observed in an electrical way.
