Abstract
We aim at experimentally demonstrating this effect using a single quantum dot in a symmetric micropillar, the directionality of the micropillar ensuring the one-dimensionality of the problem. Taking into account the leaks, we have theoretically computed the transmission function of this medium in two regimes: the linear regime where the pump is weak, and the regime where the pump is strong enough to saturate the two-level system.
