Abstract in another language

We show that pure dephasing of an exciton in a quantum dot may be reduced by performing the optical excitation with a series of ultrafast pulses. De- phasing may considerably decrease already for a few pulses. In terms of the result- ing coherence vs. control time, a multi-pulse approach is often more efficient than using smooth (Gaussian) pulses. These results show that a significant reduction of dephasing is achievable even with relatively limited experimental resources.
