Figure 5. Photon number distributions.

Figure 5

Calculated photon number distribution after the polarizer, with (through curves) and without (dashed curves) coupling to the QD in the cavity, the laser frequency is set to one of the QD resonances. With QD, we clearly see the photon-number-dependent shift of the transmission dip. Only the photon number distribution of the detected polarization component is shown; therefore, the total number of photons in case with QD can exceed the case without QD due to polarization conversion by the dot. For clarity, pure dephasing has been neglected here, making the special polarization angle different from the other simulations and experimental results.
