Abstract

We demonstrate large optical Stark shifts in a single quantum dot embedded in a modified H1 photonic crystal nanocavity. We designed the nanocavity to simultaneously possess a high Q factor, a small mode volume, and a high coupling efficiency to the external laser field. This nanocavity enabled the observation of a large Stark shift of 70 μeV even under very weak laser irradiation. The large shift was sustained by only four intracavity photons on average, paving the way for the development of ultralow-power quantum/classical optical devices.
