We experimentally observe the effect of photo-generated carriers on the spectral diffusion of a quantum dot (QD) coupled to a photonic crystal (PC) cavity. In this system, spectral diffusion arises in part from charge fluctuations on the etched surfaces of the PC. We find that these fluctuations may be suppressed by photo-generated carriers, leading to a reduction of the measured QD linewidth by a factor of ~2 compared to the case where the photo-generated carriers are not present. This result demonstrates a possible means of countering the effects of spectral diffusion in QD-PC cavity systems and thus may be useful for quantum information applications where narrow QD linewidths are desired.
