Semiconductors cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) pt. 5. Ultrafast phenomena An understanding of the interaction between light and matter on a quantum level is of fundamental interest and has many applications in optical technologies. The quantum nature of the interaction has recently attracted great attention for applications of semiconductor nanostructures in quantum information processing. Quantum optics with semiconductor nanostructures is a key guide to the theory experimental realisation and future potential of semiconductor nanostructures in the exploration of quantum optics. Part one provides a comprehensive overview of single quantum dot systems beginning with a look at resonance fluorescence emission. Quantum optics with single quantum dots in photonic crystal and micro cavities are explored in detail before part two goes on to review nanolasers with quantum dot emitters. Light matter interaction in semiconductor nanostructures including photon statistics and photoluminescence is the focus of part three whilst part four explores all solid state quantum optics crystal nanobeam cavities and quantum dot microcavity systems. Finally part five investigates ultrafast phenomena including femtosecond quantum optics and coherent optoelectronics with quantum dots. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors Quantum optics with semiconductor nanostructures is an essential guide for all those involved with the research development manufacture and use of semiconductors nanodevices lasers and optical components as well as scientists researchers and students.
