Resonant focusing in a planar microcavity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the focusing of a Gaussian laser beam in a microscopic planar cavity when the laser wavelength is resonant in the cavity but the beam divergence is larger than the acceptance angle of the cavity. Using the luminescence of implanted praseodymium ions as a microscopic probe for the total electric field inside the spacer of the microresonator, we investigate theoretically and experimentally how strong focusing alters the photoexcitation of luminescent species located inside such a structure. © 1998 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(98)00710-3] OCIS codes: 180.2520, 310.6860, 260.3800.

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 کاملUltralong-range radiative excitation transfer between quantum dots in a planar microcavity
We study the system of two quantum dots lying on the central plane of a planar semiconductor microcavity. By solving the full Maxwell problem, we demonstrate that the rate of resonant excitation transfer between the two dots decays as d as a function of the distance d at long distance. This very long-range mechanism is due to the leaky and guided modes of the microcavity, which act as effective...
متن کاملProbing microcavity polariton superfluidity through resonant Rayleigh scattering.
We study the motion of a polariton fluid injected into a planar microcavity by a continuous wave laser. In the presence of static defects, the spectrum of the Bogoliubov-like excitations reflects onto the shape and intensity of the resonant Rayleigh scattering emission pattern in both momentum and real space. We find a superfluid regime in which the Rayleigh scattering ring in momentum space co...
متن کاملBose - Einstein Partition Statistics of Photons Emitted from a Superradiant Active Microcavity
We report the results of the first investigation on the superradiant temporal and spatial quantum dynamics of two dipoles excited in a planar symmetrical microcavity by a controlled femtosecond two-pulse excitation. A superradiant enhancement of the time decay of the dipole excitation for a decreasing inter-dipole transverse distance R has been found. Furthermore, the photon partition statistic...
متن کاملQuantum vacuum radiation spectra from a semiconductor microcavity with a time-modulated vacuum Rabi frequency.
We develop a general theory of the quantum vacuum radiation generated by an arbitrary time modulation of the vacuum Rabi frequency of an intersubband transition in a doped quantum well system embedded in a planar microcavity. Both nonradiative and radiative losses are included within an input-output quantum Langevin framework. The intensity and the spectral signatures of the extra-cavity emissi...
