Observation of photon-mode decoupling in a strongly coupled multimode microcavity

Dynamic Stark effect in strongly coupled microcavity exciton polaritons.

We present experimental observations of a nonresonant dynamic Stark shift in strongly coupled microcavity quantum well exciton polaritons--a system which provides a rich variety of solid-state collective phenomena. The Stark effect is demonstrated in a GaAs/AlGaAs system at 10 K by femtosecond pump-probe measurements, with the blueshift approaching the meV scale for a pump fluence of 2  mJ cm(-...

Observation of multimode solitons in few-mode fiber.

We experimentally isolate and directly observe multimode solitons in few-mode graded-index fiber. We rely on Raman frequency shifts to spectrally isolate these multimode solitons. By varying the input energy and modal composition of the launched pulse, we observe a continuous variation of multimode solitons with different spatiotemporal properties. They exhibit an energy-volume relation that is...

Multimode circular integrated optical micro- resonators: Coupled mode theory modeling

resonator model For modeling purposes, the MR is decomposed into two bent-straight waveguide couplers, represented by the blocks (I) and (II), which are connected to each other by two segments of the cavity. The external connections are provided by straight waveguides. Here we consider only forward propagating modes of uniform polarization. We assume that all elements are linear and that the ba...

Self-induced steps in a small Josephson junction strongly coupled to a multimode resonator.

Crossover from polariton lasing to exciton lasing in a strongly coupled ZnO microcavity.

Unlike conventional photon lasing, in which the threshold is limited by the population inversion of the electron-hole plasma, the exciton lasing generated by exciton-exciton scattering and the polariton lasing generated by dynamical condensates have received considerable attention in recent years because of the sub-Mott density and low-threshold operation. This paper presents a novel approach t...
