Abstract
Nonresonant optical driving of confined semiconductors can open up exciting opportunities for experimentally realizing strongly interacting photon-dressed (Floquet) states through the optical Stark effect (OSE) for coherent modulation of the exciton state. Here we report the first room-temperature observation of the Floquet biexciton-mediated anomalous coherent excitonic OSE in CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> quantum dots (QDs). Remarkably, the strong exciton-biexciton interaction leads to a coherent red shift and splitting of the exciton resonance as a function of the drive photon frequency, similar to Autler-Townes splitting in atomic and molecular systems. The large biexciton binding energy of ∼71 meV and exciton-biexciton transition dipole moment of ∼25 D facilitate the hallmark observations, even at large detuning energies of >300 meV. This is accompanied by an unusual crossover from linear to nonlinear fluence dependence of the OSE as a function of the drive photon frequency. Our findings reveal crucial information on the unexplored many-body coherent interacting regime, making perovskite QDs suitable for room temperature quantum devices.
