Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 176801 (2008) [4 pages]Optically Induced Hybridization of a Quantum Dot State with a Filled ContinuumReceived 31 May 2007; revised 14 January 2008; published 28 April 2008 We present an optical signature of a hybridization between a localized quantum dot state and a filled continuum. Radiative recombination of the negatively charged trion in a single quantum dot leaves behind a single electron. We show that in two regions of vertical electric field, the electron hybridizes with a continuum through a tunneling interaction. The hybridization manifests itself through an unusual voltage dependence of the emission energy and a non-Lorentzian line shape, features which we reproduce with a theory based on the Anderson Hamiltonian. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
