Abstract

We study optical dispersive properties of a combined system which is composed of a single-sided cavity with low quality factor Q and a quantum-dot molecule (QDM) embedded in cavity. It is shown that, with a voltage-controlled tunneling, an input signal after reflection from cavity experiences a π phase shift while not suffering from absorption in the experimentally available parameter range.
