Phonon-induced photoluminescence from a single quantum dot in the regime vibrational resonance

Abstract

We develop a theory of phonon-induced photoluminescence from a quantum dot in the regime of vibrational resonance. Using the generalized model for renormalization of the quantum dot's energy spectrum and the density matrix formalism, we derive an expression for the differential cross-section of the phonon-induced photoluminescence from a quantum dot.
