Abstract

Photon correlation measurements are performed on single GaAs quantum dots with various excitonic radiative lifetimes. A continuous increase of the probability that the quantum dot emits more than one photon per excitation pulse is observed when decreasing the exciton radiative lifetime. The authors show that this increase is due to recapture processes into the quantum dot. A model for the second-order autocorrelation function including relaxation processes is developed and gives good description of the experimental observations.
