title: Optical control of spectral diffusion with single InAs quantum dots in a silver-embedded nanocone.
abstract: We study the spectral diffusion in a single epitaxial InAs quantum dot placed in a silver-embedded nanocone structure. Making use of a series of stroboscopic detection of optical transitions, we demonstrate the temporal fluctuations in peak energy of photoluminescence. In particular, the photoluminescence fluctuations can be effectively suppressed by strong illumination. By analyzing the photon statistics, we find that the dot emission exhibits stable non-classical nature with the strong anti-bunching behavior after this stabilization.
