What is Coherent control of a V-type three-level system in a single quantum dot about?

In a semiconductor quantum dot, the Px and Py transitions to the polarization eigenstates, |x> and |y>, naturally form a three-level V-type system. Using low-temperature polarized photoluminescence spectroscopy, we have investigated the exciton dynamics arising under strong laser excitation. We also explicitly solved the density matrix equations for comparison with the experimental data. The polarization of the exciting field controls the coupling between the otherwise orthogonal states. In particular, when the system is initialized into |y>, a polarization-tailored pulse can swap the population into |x>, and vice-versa, effectively operating on the exciton spin.
