The aim of this thesis is to supply a theoretical study of the interaction mechanisms between quantum dots beyond the simple picture of macroatoms. Coulomb interaction between excitons, exciton-phonon interaction as well as radiative interaction are, in pa ...
We develop a Maxwell-Schrodinger formalism in order to describe the radiative interaction mechanism between semiconductor quantum dots. We solve the Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field coupled to the polarization field of a quantum dot ensemble ...
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 ...
