Abstract

We observed optical precursors and polariton beats at exciton resonance in CuCl. The clear observation of beatings enables us to determine the polariton dispersion. Using the dispersion function we discussed the condition for observation of precursors.

OPTICAL PRECURSOR IN EXCITON RESONANT REGION

M. SAKAI, R. Nakahara, J. Kawase +2 more

We performed pulse-propagation experiments at the Z 3 -exciton resonance in CuCl and observed optical precursors. From the comparison between experimental results and numerical calculations, we obtained the conditions for a clear observation of a precursor in the propagation of a pulse with a finite spectral width.

SOLITON-LIKE PROPAGATION IN BIEXCITON TWO-PHOTON RESONANT REGION

Masaru Sakai, K. Sano, Hideyuki Kunugita +1 more

We performed sub-ps pulse-propagation experiments around the biexciton two-photon resonance in CuCl, and confirmed the soliton-like propagation of exciton–polariton pulses proposed by one of us [Phys. Rev. Lett.75, 224 (1995)]. In our scheme two-photon nonlinearity compensates exciton–polariton dispersion, and pulse propagate without distortion. We compared our results with the calculated ones and obtained a good agreement between them.

Soliton-like propagation in biexciton two-photon resonant region

Masaru Sakai, Hideyuki Kunugita, Kazuhiro Ema +2 more

Soliton-like pulse propagation in the exciton resonant region is the issue of current interest because of their importance in the ultrafast optical switching devices. Although several types of polariton solitons at exciton resonance have been theoretically proposed, experimental studies for soliton-like propagation in such region have not been fully explored. Recently, we proposed a new scheme of soliton-like propagation supported by biexciton two-photon dispersion, and demonstrated a preliminary indication of our scheme using biexciton two-photon resonance (TPR) in CuCl. In the present study, we perform sub-ps pulse propagation experiments under several conditions using biexciton TPR in CuCl. We compare the results with the calculated results using the frequency domain wave equation. We obtain good agreement between them, and confirm soliton-like propagation supported by biexciton two-photon dispersion.
