Polariton parametric photoluminescence in spatially inhomogeneous systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general theory of polariton parametric photoluminescence in spatially inhomogeneous systems is developed. The quantum Langevin equations are solved in a generalized Bogoliubov–de Gennes approximation. We apply the formalism to the specific case of a disordered microcavity. In this case, we numerically solve the equations for the coherent emission and the photoluminescence. We describe the effect of the exciton and photon disorder on the photoluminescence pattern exhibited in momentum space, finding a good agreement with the experimental observations.

Dissipative solitons and vortices in polariton Bose-Einstein condensates
We examine spatial localization and dynamical stability of Bose-Einstein condensates of exciton polaritons in microcavities under the condition of off-resonant spatially inhomogeneous optical pumping both with and without a harmonic trapping potential. We employ the open-dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii model for describing an incoherently pumped polariton condensate coupled to an exciton reservoir...
متن کاملObservation of long-lived polariton states in semiconductor microcavities across the parametric threshold.
The excitation spectrum around the pump-only stationary state of a polariton optical parametric oscillator in semiconductor microcavities is investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence. The response to a weak pulsed perturbation in the vicinity of the idler mode is directly related to the lifetime of the elementary excitations. A dramatic increase of the lifetime is observed for a pump inte...
متن کاملA photoluminescence study of δ-doped GaAs
Samples of GaAs 8-doped with beryllium have been studied with photoluminescence. With a lightly doped sample, (2 x 1016 Be atoms per m2) a spectral feature is observed which can be interpreted as caused by radiative recombinations between spatially non-confined conductionband electrons and acceptor-related holes forming a miniband system confined spatially to the &doped region. With higher dens...
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 کاملMode locking and mode competition in a nonequilibrium solid-state condensate
A trapped polariton condensate with continuous pumping and decay is analyzed using a generalized Gross– Pitaevskii model. Whereas an equilibrium condensate is characterized by a macroscopic occupation of a ground state, here the steady states take more general forms. Some are characterized by a large population in an excited state; others by large populations in several states, which may overla...
