Ultralong-range radiative excitation transfer between quantum dots in a planar microcavity

Vincenzo Savona, Gaetano Parascandolo, Guillaume Jean Tarel

We study the system of two quantum dots lying on the central plane of a planar semiconductor microcavity. By solving the full Maxwell problem, we demonstrate that the rate of resonant excitation transfer between the two dots decays as d(-12) as a function ...
