Abstract

We use two mutually coherent, harmonically related pulse trains to experimentally characterize quantum interference control (QIC) of injected currents in low-temperature-grown gallium arsenide. We observe real-time QIC interference fringes, optimize the QIC signal fidelity, uncover critical signal dependences regarding beam spatial position on the sample, measure signal dependences on the fundamental and second harmonic average optical powers, and demonstrate signal characteristics that depend on the focused beam spot sizes. Following directly from our motivation for this study, we propose an initial experiment to measure and ultimately control the carrier-envelope phase evolution of a single octave-spanning pulse train using the QIC phenomenon.

Fig. 1. Setup used to measure the quantum interference control (QIC) signal. The 775 nm arm length was dithered for lock-in detection and the 1550 nm arm length was ramped slowly over several wavelengths to generate real-time interference fringes. The lower right inset shows an image of the LT-GaAs sample with lithographic striplines. L1-L3, lenses; M1-M3, mirrors.

Fig. 3. (a) QIC signal amplitude as a function of vertical and lateral position of the sample. The QIC signal is largest in the tab region of the sample. (b) Vertical cross-section away from the tab region. (c) Vertical cross-section through the tab region. The horizontal gray bars have the dimensions of the stripline metallization.

Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. (a) DC offset and (b) amplitude of the QIC signal as the sample is translated through the foci of the beams (axial position) and scanned vertically. The separation of the peak dc offset from the peak amplitude indicates chromatic aberrations. The decrease in the signal amplitude in the location of the dc offset peak suggests the influence of excess carrier generation.

Fig. 5. QIC signal amplitude as a function of fundamental (bottom axis, circles, 0.58 mW of second harmonic) and second harmonic (top axis, squares, 3.5 mW of fundamental) optical powers at the sample. The measured dependences match the linear and square root behaviors, respectively, predicted in Ref. [16].

The cross-sections attached to the right of each intensity plot show the relative strengths of the signals on linear scales for the three different spot sizes. We used 5.33 mW fundamental and 0.04 mW second harmonic optical power for these measurements.

In the prism-based QIC interferometer, the spectral centers of the pulses are discarded as shown to avoid excess carrier generation. Dotted lines indicate electrical paths.
