Abstract :
A photonic crystal cavity with a strongly coupled quantum dot is coherently driven using short laser pulses. Depending on the driving frequency, photon blockade or photon induced tunneling is observed. These nonlinear phenomena at single photon level are used for on-chip generation of nonclassical light.
