Statistics of Exciton Emission in a Semiconductor Microcavity: Detuning and Exciton-Exciton Effects
We consider the interaction of quantum light with an ideal semiconductor microcavity. We investigate photon statistics in different conditions and the presence of detuning and exciton-exciton interaction. We show that in the resonant interaction and absence of the exciton-exciton interaction, the state of the whole system can be considered as coherent state. According to our results, it turns...
متن کاملLarge Vacuum Rabi Splitting in a Single Nitride-Based Quantum WellMicrocavity
Here, we report a theoretical detailed study of Vacuum Rabi Splitting (VRS) in the system of Nitride Single Quantum Well (SQW) within a semiconductor microcavity. Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) containing ZnTe/ZnSe multilayers including GaAs microcavity and ( SQW at the center of microcavity, has been considered. Upper and lower exciton-polariton branches obtaine...
متن کاملLarge-signal coherent control of normal modes in quantum-well semiconductor microcavity
We demonstrate coherent control of the cavity-polariton modes of a quantum-well semiconductor microcavity in a two-color scheme. The cavity enhancement of the excitonic nonlinearity gives rise to a large signal; modulating the relative phase of the excitation pulses between zero and p produces a differential reflectivity (DR/R) of up to 20%. The maximum nonlinear signal is obtained for cocircul...
متن کاملTerahertz Sideband Generation and Coherent Control in Semiconductor Microcavities
The controlled variation of the temperature, magnetic field, electrical bias, and quantum-well (QW) thickness [1] have all been employed to afford tunability of the exciton–cavity-photon coupling in semiconductor microcavities (MC’s). Time-dependent knobs, however, have attracted scant attention. As we show in this Letter, the modulation of the optical properties of a MC at THz frequencies may ...
متن کاملCoherent oscillations in an exciton-polariton Josephson junction.
We report on the observation of spontaneous coherent oscillations in a microcavity polariton bosonic Josephson junction. Condensation of exciton polaritons here takes place under incoherent excitation in a double potential well naturally formed in the disorder. Coherent oscillations set on at an excitation power well above the condensation threshold. The time resolved population and phase dynam...
