Permanent Rabi oscillations in coupled exciton-photon systems with PT -symmetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a physical mechanism which enables permanent Rabi oscillations in driven-dissipative condensates of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities subjected to external magnetic fields. The method is based on stimulated scattering of excitons from the incoherent reservoir. We demonstrate that permanent non-decaying oscillations may appear due to the parity-time symmetry of the coupled exciton-photon system realized in a specific regime of pumping to the exciton state and depletion of the reservoir. At non-zero exciton-photon detuning, robust permanent Rabi oscillations occur with unequal amplitudes of exciton and photon components. Our predictions pave way to realization of integrated circuits based on exciton-polariton Rabi oscillators.

Detuning-Controlled Internal Oscillations in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate.
We theoretically analyze exciton-photon oscillatory dynamics within a homogenous polariton gas in the presence of energy detuning between the cavity and quantum well modes. Whereas pure Rabi oscillations consist of the particle exchange between the photon and exciton states in the polariton system without any oscillations of the phases of the two subcondensates, we demonstrate that any nonzero ...
متن کاملOptical control of excitons in a pair of quantum dots coupled by the dipole-dipole interaction.
We demonstrate coherent nonlinear-optical control of excitons in a pair of quantum dots (QDs) coupled via dipolar interaction. The single-exciton population in the first QD is controlled by resonant picosecond excitation, giving rise to Rabi oscillations. As a result, the exciton transition in the second QD is spectrally shifted and concomitant Rabi oscillations are observed. We identify coupli...
متن کاملFrom Rabi oscillations to the Fermi Golden rule
We rederive the dressed atom and the exciton polariton within the same framework to make clear that their difference only comes from the number of electrons available for photoexcitations. Using it, we analytically show how the time dependence of the photon number transforms from an oscillating behavior (at the stimulated or vacuum Rabi frequency) to an exponential decay (identical for atom and...
متن کاملQuantuM Optics correlations on a chip
cavity quantum electrodynamics describes the behaviour of a quantum emitter inside an optical cavity, and is one of the few realizable experimental systems in which the coherent interaction between the emitter and the cavity mode can exceed dissipative and dephasing processes. Recent advances in this field include the observation of vacuum Rabi splitting1–3, interference4, upconversion5 and the...
متن کاملCoherent control and polarization readout of individual excitonic states.
We present measurements and simulations of coherent control and readout of the polarization in individual exciton states. The readout is accomplished by transient four-wave mixing detected by heterodyne spectral interferometry. We observe Rabi oscillations in the polarization, which show half the period of the Rabi oscillations in the population. A decrease of the oscillation amplitude with pul...
