Disorder-induced polaritons
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider phonon polariton states which may arise in disordered dielectrics due to a random light-phonon coupling. We show that these states can be described within the model of disorder-induced crossing resonance (DICR). The dispersion laws and relaxation rates of these states have been explored. Polaritons are shown to be good candidates for the experimental observation of the effects of DICR. fky~rds: Polariton; Disordered materials; Dispersion; Coupled waves; Random interaction; Levei repulsion

Raman scattering due to disorder-induced polaritons
The selection rules for dipole and Raman activity can be relaxed due to local distortion of a crystalline structure. In this situation a dipole-inactive mode can become simultaneously active in Raman scattering and in dipole interaction with the electromagnetic field. The later interaction results in disorder-induced polaritons, which could be observed in first-order Raman spectra. We calculate...
متن کاملOff-diagonal disorder model for exciton polaritons in layered media. Disorder-induced origin of radiative widths
Excitons in an infinite layered dipolar medium, such as a layered molecular crystal or a multiple-quantum-well stack, with perfect periodicity exhibit a vanishing radiative width due to the requirement of energy-momentum conservation. Using a pola&on model with off-diagonal disorder and a configuration-averaging technique, we show how deviations from the ideal case, specifically in the form of ...
متن کاملStrongly coupled slow-light polaritons in one-dimensional disordered localized states
Cavity quantum electrodynamics advances the coherent control of a single quantum emitter with a quantized radiation field mode, typically piecewise engineered for the highest finesse and confinement in the cavity field. This enables the possibility of strong coupling for chip-scale quantum processing, but till now is limited to few research groups that can achieve the precision and deterministi...
متن کاملTheory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures
A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...
متن کاملSoliton instabilities and vortex street formation in a polariton quantum fluid.
Exciton polaritons have been shown to be an optimal system in order to investigate the properties of bosonic quantum fluids. We report here on the observation of dark solitons in the wake of engineered circular obstacles and their decay into streets of quantized vortices. Our experiments provide a time-resolved access to the polariton phase and density, which allows for a quantitative study of ...
