ABSTRACT
We propose to observe the retardation effect between two quantum dots in a one-dimensional waveguide. The effect of retardation is more pronounced comparing to that in free space. If the photons are to be reflected by a mirror at one of the ends, the interference role played by the reflecting photon is found to be destructive. With the combination of p-i-n junction, the retardation effect can be read out via current-noise spectrums.

We report on the use of an aperture in an aluminum oxide layer to restrict current injection into a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot from an ensemble of such dots within a large mesa. The insulating aperture is formed through the wet oxidation of a layer of AlAs. Under photoluminescence we...
