Dephasing times in quantum dots due to elastic LO phonon-carrier collisions
arXiv:cond-mat/0006394 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.1516
Abstract
Interpretation of experiments on quantum dot (QD) lasers presents a challenge: the phonon bottleneck, which should strongly suppress relaxation and dephasing of the discrete energy states, often seems to be inoperative. We suggest and develop a theory for an intrinsic mechanism for dephasing in QD's: second-order elastic interaction between quantum dot charge carriers and LO-phonons. The calculated dephasing times are of the order of 200 fs at room temperature, consistent with experiments. The phonon bottleneck thus does not prevent significant room temperature dephasing.
