Suppressed Polariton Scattering in Semiconductor Microcavities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrafast time-resolved measurements on a semiconductor microcavity distinguish polariton dynamics dependent on the detuning between the constituent photon and exciton modes. Spectral synthesis allows the injection of specific polariton pulses into the sample. Scattering which results in absorption is found to be suppressed in the lower polariton branch by the combined action of normal mode splitting and motional narrowing. The experimental difference between angle and position tuning demonstrates the role of the polariton dispersion in polariton-polariton interactions. [S0031-9007(98)06665-4]

Polariton Lasing Due to the Exciton–Electron Scattering in Semiconductor Microcavities
The issue of polariton lasing in n-doped microcavities is addressed. We show theoretically that the introduction of a cold electron gas into quantum microcavities induces efficient electron–polariton scattering. This process allows the condensation of the polaritons accumulated at the bottleneck to the final emitting state with a transition time of a few picoseconds, opening the way to a new ge...
متن کاملStimulated secondary emission from semiconductor microcavities.
We find strong influence of final-state stimulation on the time-resolved light emission dynamics from semiconductor microcavities after pulsed excitation allowing angle-resonant polariton-polariton scattering on the lower-polariton branch. The polariton dynamics can be controlled by injection of final-state polaritons at densities below a polariton saturation density of 5x10(8) cm(-2). A bosoni...
متن کاملParametric amplification and polariton liquids in semiconductor microcavities
Parametric amplification in semiconductor microcavities provides an example in which nonlinear optical interactions produced by the exchange interaction of excitons become so large that multiple scattering of polaritons becomes important. Here we review time-resolved observations of the polariton interactions in a number of different geometries including pumping at either the magic angle, or th...
متن کاملOn the nature and dynamics of low-energy cavity polaritons
Low-energy polaritons in semiconductor microcavities are important for many processes such as, e.g., polariton condensation. Organic microcavities frequently feature both strong exciton-photon coupling and substantial scattering in the exciton subsystem. Low-energy polaritons possessing small or vanishing group velocities are especially susceptible to the effects of such scattering that can ren...
متن کاملTheory of polariton-mediated Raman scattering in microcavities.
We calculate the intensity of the polariton-mediated inelastic light scattering in semiconductor microcavities. We treat the exciton-photon coupling nonperturbatively and incorporate lifetime effects in both excitons and photons, and a coupling of the photons to the electron-hole continuum. Taking the matrix elements as fitting parameters, the results are in excellent agreement with measured Ra...
