Coherent control of biexcitonic polarization

Hans Georg Breunig, T. Voss, Ilja Rückmann +1 more

Biexcitonic polarization excited in a ZnSe quantum well is coherently controlled with a pair of phase-locked laser pulses. The coherent control of this four-particle correlation is directly verified by observing a spectrally resolved four-wave-mixing signal in direction of the first order of diffraction of the pulse pair. By using polarization selection rules for the generation of biexcitons and changing the interpulse delay of the pulse pair the oscillations of the four-wave-mixing signal are studied at the energetic position of the excitonic as well as the biexcitonic resonance. The excitonic and biexcitonic signals exhibit a phase shift in dependence on the interpulse delay which clearly indicates the separate coherent control of the excitonic and biexcitonic polarization.

Real-time observation of the coherent control of linear- and four-wave-mixing polarization of excitons in a ZnSe single quantum well

T. Voss, Hans-Georg Breunig, Ilja Rückmann +1 more

The coherent control of excitonic and biexcitonic polarization in pulse-transmission and four-wave-mixing (FWM) experiments is analysed with real time resolution. As a model system a ZnSe single quantum well is exclusively excited at the heavy-hole exciton and exciton–biexciton resonance. In pulse-transmission experiments the coherent control of excitonic polarization is shown for low excitation intensities. At elevated excitation intensities the dephasing time of the polarization is found to be strongly dependent on the relative phase of two phase-locked laser pulses which perform the coherent manipulation of the polarization. In FWM experiments the separate coherent control of the excitonic and biexcitonic FWM polarization is demonstrated which enables a coherent manipulation of the amplitude and phase of exciton–biexciton beats which are observed on the FWM polarization transients.

Coherent control of the exciton-biexciton system demonstrated in four-wave-mixing experiments

T. Voss

Systematic measurements and microscopic simulations were performed to study the optical coherent control of the exciton‐biexciton systems in a ZnSe quantum well. Our results show that the spectral components in the four‐wave mixing signal at the exciton and the exciton‐biexciton transition, respectively, can be separately controlled in the coherent regime. This separate control also results in different beat structures on the real‐time transients of the nonlinear wave‐mixing polarization. With respect to all important features experiment and simulation are in excellent agreement.
