Tóm tắt

Problems of controlling the spectral and dynamic properties of a structure formed by a one-dimensional array (chain) of interacting microcavities (MCs) are considered. Instead of using traditional approaches based on changing their refractive index, the method used here is based on reversible variation in the length of one of the Bragg resonators. The calculations show that this algorithm makes it possible to effectively control the spectrum of the chain and regulate its interaction with the quantum dots integrated into some of the resonators. The dependences of the spectrum of the chain on the parameters of the resonators and the dependences of the populations of quantum dots on time are obtained. The fundamental possibility of the coherent transfer of excitation between points through the photon state of the chain is confirmed. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the proposed approach can be implemented experimentally, provided that the technology for manufacturing high-quality semiconductor optical structures is further improved and the accuracy of positioning the quantum dots in them is increased.
