Abstract

En 中文
The coherent interaction between a two-level system and electromagnetic fields serves as a foundation for fundamental quantum physics and modern photonic quantum technology. A profound example is resonance fluorescence, where the non-classical photon emission appears in the form of a Mollow-triplet when a two-level system is continuously driven by a resonant laser. Pushing resonance fluorescence from a static to dynamic regime by using short optical pulses generates on-demand emissions of highly coherent single photons. Further increasing the driving strength in the dynamical regime enables the pursuit of exotic non-classical light emission in photon number superposition, photon number entanglement and photon bundle states. However, the long-sought-after spectrum beyond the Mollow-triplet, a characteristic of dynamic resonance fluorescence under strong driving strength, has not yet been observed. Here we report the direct observation and systematic investigations of dynamic resonance fluorescence spectra beyond the Mollow-triplet in a solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamic system. The dynamic resonance fluorescence spectra-with up to five pairs of side peaks, excitation detuning-induced spectral asymmetry, and cavity filtering effects-are observed and quantitatively modelled by a full-quantum model with phonon scattering included. Time-resolved measurements further reveal that the multiple side peaks originate from interference of the emission associated with different temporal positions of the excitation pulses. Our work facilitates the generation of a variety of exotic quantum states of light with dynamic driving of two-level systems. Dynamic resonance fluorescence spectra beyond the Mollow-triplet are observed in a In(Ga)As quantum dot in a micropillar. Multiple side peaks, excitation-induced spectral asymmetry, and cavity filtering effects are experimentally observed and theoretically reproduced by a full quantum model that includes phonon-induced decoherence.
