| contents | We introduce a tomography approach to describe the optical response of a cavity quantum electrodynamics device, beyond the semiclassical image of polarization rotation, by analyzing the polarization density matrix of the reflected photons in the Poincaré sphere. Applying this approach to an electrically-controlled quantum dot-cavity device, we show that a single resonantly-excited quantum dot induces a large optical polarization rotation by $20^\circ$ in latitude and longitude in the Poincaré sphere, with a polarization purity remaining above $84\%$. The quantum dot resonance fluorescence is shown to contribute to the polarization rotation via its coherent part, whereas its incoherent part contributes to degrading the polarization purity. |
