Theory of the Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Response of Exciton–Microcavity Coupled System

Hajime Ishihara, Tomonari Amakata, K. Cho

A microscopic semi-classical theory for the self-consistent calculation of the nonlinear response field is applied to the exciton–microcavity coupled systems. Our results show that the respective spectral features of the degenerated four wave mixing (DFWM) signal in both the weak (Ω ≤ Γ) and the strong coupling (Ω ≫ Γ) regimes, where Ω is the Rabi splitting and Γ is the width of the modes, can be clearly described with a single framework. In the weak coupling regime, the nonlinear signal is strongest at the bare excitonic resonance, and its enhancement due to cavity effect is remarkable. In the strong coupling regime, our framework very well reproduces the polarization dependent DFWM spectra in a recent experiment.

Exciton-exciton correlation in the ultrafast nonlinear optical response in the nonperturbative regime

Salvatore Savasta, Omar Di Stefano, R. Girlanda

Summary form only given. The ultrafast nonlinear optical response of semiconductor-microcavities (SMCs) in the nonperturbative regime is attracting growing interest for exploring fundamental light-matter interactions in many-particle quantum systems, as well as for the future implementations of ultrafast photonic devices. In spite of many investigations, the coherent dynamics of excitonic nonlinear-response in the nonperturbative regime has not been fully understood. Open questions are how strong exciton-cavity coupling affects exciton-exciton (X-X) interactions, and how in turn the X-X correlation influences the nonlinear response of SmCs. We investigate these open questions and show that the nonperturbative regime provides an unprecedented tool for investigating four-particle correlations.We start from the equations for the third order exciton polarization and cavity field describing quantum optical effects and coherent nonlinear optics in SMCs, perform the semiclassical factorization and include multiple scattering processes.

Bistable optical response in quantum well semiconductor microcavity

Massimo Gurioli, Lucia Cavigli, G. Khitrova +1 more

We report an experimental study of the optical bistability in a semiconductor microcavity (MC), consisting of a wedged λ GaAs spacer containing a single 8.5 nm In 0.04 Ga 0.96 As quantum well (QW). Increasing the excitation power, a transition between the normal coupling and the weak coupling regime of the MC modes is observed. At intermediate excitation power the reflectivity spectrum shows the simultaneous presence of three resonances, with a third peak spectrally lying between the two normal modes. Monitoring the reflected signal for different laser energy as a function of the excitation power, we found that optical bistability is observed only at the energy of the third peak. The experimental findings do not agree with transfer matrix calculations based on exciton bleaching, suggesting that more complex nonlinear mechanisms are relevant in the observed bistable behaviour.
