文摘We find that the emission from laterally coupled quantum dots is strongly polarized along the coupled direction[110],and its polarization anisotropy can be shaped by changing the orientation of the polarized excitation.When the nonresonant excitation is linearly polarized perpendicular to the coupled direction[110],excitons(X_(1) and X_(2))and local biexcitons(X_(1)X_(1) and X_(2)X_(2))from the two separate quantum dots(QD_(1) and QD_(2))show emission anisotropy with a small degree of polarization(10%).On the other hand,when the excitation polarization is parallel to the coupled direction [110],the polarization anisotropy of excitons,local biexcitons,and coupled biexcitons(X_(1)X_(2))is enhanced with a degree of polarization of 74%.We also observed a consistent anisotropy in the time-resolved photoluminescence.The decay rate of the polarized photoluminescence intensity along the coupled direction is relatively high,but the anisotropic decay rate can be modified by changing the orientation of the polarized excitation.An energy difference is also observed between the polarized emission spectra parallel and perpendicular to the coupled direction,and it increases by up to three times by changing the excitation polarization orientation from [110] to [110].These results suggest that the dipole-dipole interaction across the two separate quantum dots is mediated and that the anisotropic wavefunctions of the excitons and biexcitons are shaped by the excitation polarization.
