Interferometric correlation spectroscopy is performed to investigate the decoherence dynamics of localized excited states in a single GaAs/AlGaAs quantum ring. For increasing temperature and excitation, we observe that the decay of interferometric envelope and the Fourier‐transformed spectrum remain exponential and Lorentzian, respectively. The linewidth broadening for temperature and excitation intensity can be attributed to enhanced acoustic phonon scattering and Auger scattering in the fast modulation limit through the barrier traps, where carriers are captured and escape randomly. Additionally, we suggest an internal scattering between the different vertical confinement states for the significantly short coherence time (<25 ps) compared to that observed in quantum dots.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
