NANO LETTERS, Volume 7, Issue 9, pp. 2892 - 2896. https://doi.org/10.1021/nl07172551530-69841530-6992https://hdl.handle.net/2144/37205Through the utilization of index-matched GaAs immersion lens techniques, we demonstrate a record extinction (12%) of a far-field focused laser beam by a single InAs/GaAs quantum dot. This contrast level enables us to report for the first time resonant laser transmission spectroscopy on a single InAs/GaAs quantum dot without the need for phase-sensitive lock-in detection.2892 - 2896Science & technologyPhysical sciencesTechnologyChemistryChemistry, physicalNanoscience & nanotechnologyMaterials sciencePhysics, appliedPhysics, condensed matterIncreasing lens microscopySpectroscopyArsenicalsGalliumIndiumLasersMaterials testingNanotechnologyQuantum dotsNanoscience & nanotechnologyArticle10.1021/nl07172550000-0002-3978-7993 (Swan, AK)48104
