Fig. 3: Stimulated down-conversion (SDC) in a single quantum dot.

a Experiment with blue-shifted control laser: The SDC emission appears on the low-energy side with the expected Stark shift and an avoided crossing with the XX-line (PTPE = 10 mW, PControl = 1.5 mW, Tint = 2 s, ħΩ0 = 0.198 meV). b Experiment with red-shifted control laser: The SDC emission appears on the high-energy side with the expected Stark shift and an avoided crossing with the X-line (ħΩ0 = 0.189 meV). c Theoretical results for case a, taking into account the experimental conditions. d Theoretical results for case (b).
