By means of such a single quantum dot photodiode we demonstrate the transfer of coherent optical excitations into deterministic photocurrents. Rabi oscillations are shown to be directly reflected in the photocurrent. For optical excitation with pi-pulses we observe a quantitative photocurrent given by I=f /spl times/ e, where f is the repetition frequency of the experiment and e is the elementary charge.","PeriodicalId":20418,"journal":{"name":"Postconference Digest Quantum Electronics and Laser Science, 2003.
