Optical parametric oscillaton in 1D semiconductor microcavities
We present an experimental investigation of parametric scattering processes and optical parametric oscillations in wire shaped, one-dimensional semiconductor microcavities. Far field emission patterns and corresponding band dispersion are studied by polarization resolved measurements and power dependence measurements under resonant and non-resonant excitation. The multiplicity of the photonic b...
متن کاملExcitable optical waves in semiconductor microcavities.
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the existence of excitable optical waves in semiconductor microcavities. Although similar to those observed in biological and chemical systems, these excitable optical waves are self-confined. This is due to a new dynamical scenario, where a stationary Turning pattern controls the propagation of waves in an excitable medium, thus bringing together...
متن کاملMicrocavities in Semiconductor Materials
Positron beam and helium desorption techniques have been applied to different materials, in particular semiconductor materials, to determine the presence of defects. The positron technique yields values of the positron diffusion length and values of the Doppler broadening parameters. In principle, defect concentrations can be derived and an indication can be obtained about the nature of the def...
متن کاملOptical circuits based on polariton neurons in semiconductor microcavities.
By exploiting the polarization multistability of polaritons, we show that polarized signals can be conducted in the plane of a semiconductor microcavity along controlled channels or "neurons." Furthermore, because of the interaction of polaritons with opposite spins it is possible to realize binary logic gates operating on the polarization degree of freedom. Multiple gates can be integrated tog...
متن کاملOptical bistability in a three-level semiconductor quantum-well system
Optical bistable behavior in a unidirectional ring cavity (or a Fabry–Pérot cavity) containing a semiconductor quantum well, described as a three-level ladder-type system with similar transition energies, has been studied. The system interacts with a strong driving field which is in two-photon resonance with the intersubband transition and thus simultaneously drives all three levels into phase-...
