Excitation-induced coherence in a semiconductor microcavity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We measure the dephasing times of high finesse semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime using degenerate four-wave mixing. We find that under certain excitation conditions ~near-normal incidence! the dephasing time of the lower polariton branch increases with the excitation intensity. This excitation induced coherence indicates that the lower polariton is acting as a Bose particle.

Large-signal coherent control of normal modes in quantum-well semiconductor microcavity
We demonstrate coherent control of the cavity-polariton modes of a quantum-well semiconductor microcavity in a two-color scheme. The cavity enhancement of the excitonic nonlinearity gives rise to a large signal; modulating the relative phase of the excitation pulses between zero and p produces a differential reflectivity (DR/R) of up to 20%. The maximum nonlinear signal is obtained for cocircul...
متن کاملQuantum condensation from a tailored exciton population in a microcavity
An experiment is proposed on the coherent quantum dynamics of a semiconductor microcavity containing quantum dots. Modeling the experiment using a generalized Dicke model, we show that a tailored excitation pulse can create an energy-dependent population of excitons, which subsequently evolves to a quantum condensate of excitons and photons. The population is created by a generalization of adia...
متن کاملStatistics 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 کاملThermal effect and role of entanglement and coherence on excitation transfer in a spin chain
We analyze the role of bath temperature, coherence and entanglement on excitation transfer in a spin chain induced by the environment. In Markovian regime, we show that coherence and entanglement are very sensitive to bath temperature and vanish in time in contrary to the case of having zero-temperature bath. That is while, finding the last qubit of the chain in excited state increases by incre...
