- ItemTuning emission energy and fine structure splitting in quantum dots emitting in the telecom O-band(College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2019) Höfer, B.; Olbrich, F.; Kettler, J.; Paul, M.; Höschele, J.; Jetter, M.; Portalupi, S.L.; Ding, F.; Michler, P.; Schmidt, O.G.We report on optical investigations of MOVPE-grown InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots emitting at the telecom O-band that were integrated onto uniaxial piezoelectric actuators. This promising technique, which does not degrade the emission brightness of the quantum emitters, enables us to tune the quantum dot emission wavelengths and their fine-structure splitting. By spectrally analyzing the emitted light with respect to its polarization, we are able to demonstrate the cancelation of the fine structure splitting within the experimental resolution limit. This work represents an important step towards the high-yield generation of entangled photon pairs at telecommunication wavelength, together with the capability to precisely tune the emission to target wavelengths.
- ItemLab::Measurement—A portable and extensible framework for controlling lab equipment and conducting measurements(Amsterdam : North Holland Publ. Co., 2019) Reinhardt, S.; Butschkow, C.; Geissler, S.; Dirnaichner, A.; Olbrich, F.; Lane, C.E.; Schröer, D.; Hüttel, A.K.Lab::Measurement is a framework for test and measurement automatization using Perl 5. While primarily developed with applications in mesoscopic physics in mind, it is widely adaptable. Internally, a layer model is implemented. Communication protocols such as IEEE 488 [1], USB Test & Measurement [2], or, e.g., VXI-11 [3] are addressed by the connection layer. The wide range of supported connection backends enables unique cross-platform portability. At the instrument layer, objects correspond to equipment connected to the measurement PC (e.g., voltage sources, magnet power supplies, multimeters, etc.). The high-level sweep layer automates the creation of measurement loops, with simultaneous plotting and data logging. An extensive unit testing framework is used to verify functionality even without connected equipment. Lab::Measurement is distributed as free and open source software. Program summary: Program Title: Lab::Measurement 3.660 Program Files doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/d8rgrdc7tz.1 Program Homepage: https://www.labmeasurement.de Licensing provisions: GNU GPL v23 Programming language: Perl 5 Nature of problem: Flexible, lightweight, and operating system independent control of laboratory equipment connected by diverse means such as IEEE 488 [1], USB [2], or VXI-11 [3]. This includes running measurements with nested measurement loops where a data plot is continuously updated, as well as background processes for logging and control. Solution method: Object-oriented layer model based on Moose [4], abstracting the hardware access as well as the command sets of the addressed instruments. A high-level interface allows simple creation of measurement loops, live plotting via GnuPlot [5], and data logging into customizable folder structures. [1] F. M. Hess, D. Penkler, et al., LinuxGPIB.
