Photoluminescence intermittency of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots confined in a planar microcavity.

Photoluminescence intermittency, or "blinking", was observed in semiconductor InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) inside a planar microcavity. Most of the blinking QDs were found around defect sites such as dislocation lines naturally formed in the GaAs barrier layers, and the carrier traps responsible for blinking had an excitation threshold of approximately 1.53 eV. The blinking properties of epitaxial QDs and colloidal nanocrystal QDs were also compared by performing laser intensity dependent measurements and statistics of the "on" and "off" time distributions.

Phase locking in on-off intermittency.

Dynamical behavior of on-off intermittency around chaos synchronization-desynchronization bifurcation parameter line is investigated in coupled identical chaotic oscillators. Along this parameter line, we find that on-off intermittency can transit from phase-unlocking status to phase-locking one in the phase space of variable differences, which can be regarded as a codimension-two bifurcation, i.e., combinative bifurcations of desynchronization and phase locking. In the phase-locking case, the motions of all oscillators are chaotic and they show on-off intermittency with respect to the synchronous manifold, however, spatial phase order of variable differences is clearly established.
