Abstract

The coherent dynamics of cavity-polaritons are investigated using the four-wave-mixing technique. A series of experiments on four samples operating in both the weak and strong coupling regimes were performed to study the influence of strong coupling on the interaction of cavity-polaritons with other cavity-polaritons, free carriers and acoustic phonons. Due to Rabi splitting a larger number of free carriers are created in the strong coupling sample compared with the weak coupling sample. This has a significant impact on the total scattering efficiency. The temperature dependence of the four-wave mixing yields evidence of suppression of acoustic phonon scattering compared to bare quantum well behaviour and is a result of the modified two dimensional dispersion.

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance

Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy is a technique for characterizing atomic level structure in solid materials e.g. powders, single crystals and amorphous samples and tissues using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The anisotropic part of many spin interactions are present in solid-state NMR, unlike in solution-state NMR where rapid tumbling motion averages out many of the spin interactions.

Polariton

In physics, polaritons pəˈlærᵻtɒnz,_poʊ- are quasiparticles resulting from strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with an electric or magnetic dipole-carrying excitation. They are an expression of the common quantum phenomenon known as level repulsion, also known as the avoided crossing principle. Polaritons describe the crossing of the dispersion of light with any interacting resonance. To this extent polaritons can also be thought of as the new normal modes of a given material or structure arising from the strong coupling of the bare modes, which are the photon and the dipolar oscillation.

Brillouin scattering

Brillouin scattering (also known as Brillouin light scattering or BLS), named after Léon Brillouin, refers to the interaction of light with the material waves in a medium (e.g. electrostriction and magnetostriction). It is mediated by the refractive index dependence on the material properties of the medium; as described in optics, the index of refraction of a transparent material changes under deformation (compression-distension or shear-skewing).
