Abstract

Compared to the average enhancement factor, a more accurate way of describing the spontaneous emission enhancement is to introduce a distribution function P(γ) for the spontaneous emission rates γ. For some quantum dots (QDs), the spontaneous emission rates exceed 20 GHz. The corresponding decay time is less than 50 ps. Hence, the spontaneous emission enhancement factor for some QDs exceed 10.
