Transfer of coherent dynamics between discrete excitons and exciton Fano continua in quantum wells

S. Arlt, J. Kunde, François Morier-Genoud +2 more

Four-wave-mixing in semiconductor quantum wells with spectrally shaped broadband laser pulses demonstrates that the coherent dynamics of discrete excitons can be detected in the coherent emission from exciton Fano continua and vice versa. In particular, quantum beating between discrete heavy and light hole excitons is observed in the coherent emission from the continuum. The results can be understood in a common ground-state picture of strongly coupled transitions. This model shows that the transfer of the amplitude of the nonlinear coherent polarization is at the origin of the experimental results.

Microscopic theory of exciton coherent control and Rayleigh scattering in semiconductor quantum wells

Joaquín Fernández-Rossier, C. Tejedor, Roberto D. Merlin

We present a bosonic description of excitons created by means of resonant optical pumping in a quantum well in the presence of a weak disorder potential. The excitonic collective state is a Glauber coherent state, closely related to that of photons but substantially different from that of few-level models. The theory, applying to the low-density regime, is used to explain various transient linear optical experiments involving resonantly excited excitons in GaAs quantum wells. In particular, we consider coherent control of the exciton density and spin, resonant Rayleigh scattering and scattering coherent control. Our quantum mechanical approach for light emission shows that excitonic secondary emission has a coherent component, in agreement with experiments.
