摘要
Cooper pairs form spin singlet states and are regarded as entangled electron pairs. Extracting entangled electrons has been actively studied by the use of superconductor-normal metal junctions. We have proposed to convert Cooper pairs to entangled photon pairs via interband radiative recombination of Cooper pairs penetrated into a semiconductor by the proximity effect. We fabricated a superconducting (SC) light emitting diode, where a superconductor is used for the n-type electrode. We observed light output enhancement and recombination lifetime shortening below the SC critical temperature. Our observations were very well explained with an analysis based on a time-dependent perturbation theory of the radiative recombination. Superconductivity was included via the Bogoliubov transformation. We present our measurements on the Cooper-pair-enhanced luminescence from InAs quantum dots. We demonstrate the observation of sharp edge in the luminescence spectra that reflects the SC density of states.
