Dipolariton Formation in Quantum Dot Molecules Strongly Coupled to Optical Resonators

In this theoretical work, we study a double quantum dot interacting strongly with a microcavity, while undergoing resonant tunneling. Effects of interdot tunneling on the light-matter hybridized states are determined, and tunability of their brightness degrees, associated dipole moments, and lifetimes is demonstrated. These results predict dipolariton generation in artificial molecules coupled to optical resonators and provide a promising scenario for the control of emission efficiency and coherence times of exciton polaritons.
