Statistics of Exciton Emission in a Semiconductor Microcavity: Detuning and Exciton-Exciton Effects

Authors

Abstract:

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 out that photon statistics strongly depends on the initial state of the system. It is found that it is possible to generate squeezed light in the presence of the exciton-exciton interaction.

Collapses and revivals of exciton emission in a semiconductor microcavity: detuning and phase-space filling effects

We investigate exciton emission of quantum well embedded in a semiconductor microcavity. The analytical expressions of the light intensity for the cases of excitonic number state and coherent state are presented by using secular approximation. Our results show that the effective exciton-exciton interaction leads to the appearance of collapse and revival of the light intensity. The revival time ...

Condensation of semiconductor microcavity exciton polaritons.

A phase transition from a classical thermal mixed state to a quantum-mechanical pure state of exciton polaritons is observed in a GaAs multiple quantum-well microcavity from the decrease of the second-order coherence function. Supporting evidence is obtained from the observation of a nonlinear threshold behavior in the pump-intensity dependence of the emission, a polariton-like dispersion relat...

Exciton-polariton dynamics in a transparent organic semiconductor microcavity

Exciton-polariton dynamics are studied in organic semiconductor microcavities operating in the strongly coupled polariton regime, with thin films of cyanine J-aggregates sandwiched between low-loss dielectric mirrors. The delocalized excitons are subject to polariton normal mode splittings which are modulated by near resonant femtosecond excitation pulses, while orientational disorder effects o...

Exciton-exciton annihilation and biexciton stimulated emission in graphene nanoribbons.

Graphene nanoribbons display extraordinary optical properties due to one-dimensional quantum-confinement, such as width-dependent bandgap and strong electron-hole interactions, responsible for the formation of excitons with extremely high binding energies. Here we use femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to explore the ultrafast optical properties of ultranarrow, structurally well-defi...

Microcavity polaritons in disordered exciton lattices

We investigate the interaction of excitons in a two-dimensional lattice and photons in a planar cavity in the presence of disorder. The strong exciton-photon coupling is described in terms of polariton quasiparticles, which are scattered by a disorder potential. We consider three kinds of disorder: i inhomogeneous exciton energy, ii inhomogeneous exciton-photon coupling, and iii deviations from...
