Optical spin hall effect.
A remarkable analogy is established between the well-known spin Hall effect and the polarization dependence of Rayleigh scattering of light in microcavities. This dependence results from the strong spin effect in elastic scattering of exciton polaritons: if the initial polariton state has a zero spin and is characterized by some linear polarization, the scattered polaritons become strongly spin...
متن کاملLasing in Bose-Fermi mixtures
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, well-known for revolutionising photonic science, has been realised primarily in fermionic systems including widely applied diode lasers. The prerequisite for fermionic lasing is the inversion of electronic population, which governs the lasing threshold. More recently, bosonic lasers have also been developed based on Bose-Einstein condensa...
متن کاملOptical implementation of entangled multi-spin states in a CdTe quantum well
Ultrafast optical pulses and coherent techniques are used to create spin entangled states of non-interacting electrons bound to donors in a CdTe quantum well. Our method, relying on the exchange interaction between optically excited holes and the impurities, can in principle, be applied to entangle a large number of spins. Results are presented for resonant excitation of localized excitons belo...
متن کاملQuantum theory of spin dynamics of exciton-polaritons in microcavities.
We present the quantum theory of momentum and spin relaxation of exciton-polaritons in microcavities. We show that giant longitudinal-transverse splitting of the polaritons mixes their spin states, which results in beats between right- and left-circularly polarized photoluminescence of microcavities, as was recently experimentally observed [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 077402 (2002)]]. This effect is s...
متن کاملWaveguiding without a waveguide: Local-mode exciton polaritons in multiple quantum wells
Exciton polaritons are considered in infinite multiple quantum wells which are periodic except that one well ~impurity! has a different well width from the others ~host!. Under certain circumstances it is possible to have a long-lived exciton-polariton mode localized about the impurity. From the viewpoint of the electromagnetic field, this corresponds to waveguide modes in the vicinity of an ex...
