Solotronics, optoelectronics based on solitary dopants, is an emerging field of research and
technology reaching the ultimate limit of miniaturization. It aims at exploiting quantum …

Two coupled CdTe quantum dots, selected from a self-assembled system, one of them
containing a single Mn ion, were studied by continuous wave and modulated …

An optical spin orientation is achieved for a Mn atom localized in a semiconductor quantum
dot using quasiresonant excitation at zero magnetic field. Optically created spin-polarized …

We report on the observation of spin-dependent optically dressed states and the optical
Stark effect on an individual Mn spin in a semiconductor quantum dot. The vacuum-to …

We have investigated the spin preparation efficiency by optical pumping of individual Mn
atoms embedded in CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. Monitoring the time dependence of the …

A promising method to investigate dark exciton transitions in quantum dots is presented. The
optical recombination of the dark exciton is allowed when the exciton state is coupled with …

We present direct observation of a coherent spin precession of an individual Mn 2+ ion,
having both electronic and nuclear spins equal to 5/2, embedded in a CdTe quantum dot …

We evidence magnetic field triggered polariton lasing in a microcavity containing
semimagnetic quantum wells. This effect is associated with a decrease of the polariton …

We report on the method of fabrication of a photonic microstructure that contains a single
magnetic ion. Exactly one manganese ion was introduced into a self-assembled CdTe …

We demonstrate optical spin orientation of an individual Mn 2+ ion embedded in a
CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot. It is achieved through the injection of spin-polarized excitons to the …
