Abstract:
We theoretically study the photon-assisted transport (PAT) in a double quantum dot (QD) which is conditionally controlled by the optical excitation in an adjacent QD. Based on a real three-QD model, a double-electron level configuration needed for the conditional PAT is designed. Interesting conditional dynamics are demonstrated for the double QD and its adjacent QD. Depending on various conditional frequencies, the conditional behaviors can be manifested as the current peaks or collapses of the PAT. They correspond to coherent excitations or trapping of double-electron states. Our results present a possible way to optically manipulate electron states and monitor them via the signals of current spectrum.
