We engineer a semiconductor microcavity through an appropriate choice of geometry and materials in order to maximise the exciton-photon coupling. The polaritonic nonlinearities in such devices survive at high temperatures and high excitation densities. We measure parametric polariton amplification up to 220 K in CdTe microcavities and up to 120 K in GaAs ones. The amplification is also outstanding, reaching as much as 5000 at low temperature. The experimental observations suggest that the operating temperat

The additional power absorbed by the plasma can be determined from the time derivative of the total plasma energy, which can be estimated from the diamagnetic flux of the plasma using a diamagnetic loop. The main difficulty in using diamagnetic measurements to estimate the kinetic energy is the compensation of the flux measurement sensitivity to poloidal magnetic fields, which is not always easy to adjust. A method based on the temporal variations of the diamagnetic flux of the plasma during modulated elect

Using time-resolved photoluminescence, we have investigated the radiative behavior of neutral and negatively charged excitons in CdTe-based quantum wells. We find that the photoluminescence of negatively charged excitons can be well reproduced by a model of delocalized and thermalized three-particle complexes. A large radiative zone in k-space results from the transfer of the charged exciton momentum to the remaining electron (recoil effect). On the other hand, the photoluminescence decay of excitons is not

We report on efficient, narrow linewidth exciton recombination in GaAs/AlGaAs V-groove quantum wire light-emitting diodes at room temperature. The high efficiency is due to a selective carrier injection mechanism resulting in an estimated internal quantum efficiency of similar to 20% with an electroluminescence (EL) linewidth as narrow as 15 meV. The thermal broadening contribution to the linewidth is 6 meV due to exciton scattering with optical phonons. An analysis of the EL peak shift in a magnetic field

Time-resolved measurements of the resonant Rayleigh scattering from quantum well excitons are shown to provide information on the energy-level statistics of the localized exciton states. The signal transients are reproduced by a microscopic quantum model of the exciton two-dimensional motion in presence of spatially correlated disorder. This model allows quantitative determination of the average energy separation between the localized states. Here this quantity turns out to be only a few times smaller than

We have performed spectral interferometry with Rayleigh scattered light coming from a single speckle and emitted after resonant creation of excitons in GaAs quantum wells:: The experiment confirms the coherence of the secondary emission at early times, regardless of sample:parameters. but underlines the stochastic nature of a single speckle. The scattered electric field is calculated, correctly accounting for the center-of-mass quantization in the disordered potential. We find that the amplitudes of the ele

We study the subpicosecond gain dynamics in a high-finesse semiconductor microcavity containing quantum wells by means of degenerate pump-probe spectroscopy. Tuning the optical excitation in resonance with both the exciton and the cavity modes, at high pump fields the probe pulses are strongly amplified near the energy of the empty-cavity mode. At zero probe delay, integration of the probe spectrum yields a net gain of several percents. The coherent nature of the gain is demonstrated by its oscillatory beha

The spectroscopy of Hg2 mols. in Ne matrixes was studied using absorption, excitation and emission spectroscopy. Emission spectra show fluorescence from the lowest A0g+ and the B1g states, sepd. by .apprx.1500 cm-1, to the ground state X0+g. Their excitation spectra show clearly the absorption bands of the D1u and F0u+ states. The relaxation processes leading to the B and A emission bands are discussed. At higher excitation laser power, emission from the G0u+ state to the ground state is also obsd. Also, se

Photoluminescence lifetimes of the n = 2 level in a large quantum well show a clear nonmonotonic dependence on the density of optically generated carriers. Varying the power density over five orders of magnitude we prove directly the high efficiency of carrier-carrier interaction for intersubband scattering when longitudinal-optical phonon emission is suppressed. For low densities, the observed n = 2 decay times get shorter (from 40 down to 5 ps) as the density is increased. At high densities Pauli blocking

Local and superficial near-infrared (NIR) optical-property characterization of turbid biological tissues can be achieved by measurement of spatially resolved diffuse reflectance at small source–detector separations (

We report on time-resolved photoluminescence studies of charged and neutral excitons in a modulation doped GaAs quantum well under resonant excitation and high magnetic field. The radiative lifetime of the charged exciton is rather short, 60 ps at zero held, and is found to increase by a factor of similar to 2 up to 7 T. The short lifetimes suggest that, under magnetic field, the exciton bound in the trion is delocalized. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The time-resolved secondary emission of resonantly created excitons in GaAs quantum wells is studied using femtosecond up-conversion spectroscopy. The behaviour of the rise and decay of the secondary emission and reflectivity in quantum welts is strongly dependent upon the disorder at the interfaces, the exciton density and the temperature. In the case of low densities and temperatures the emission is independent of the exciton density and rises quadratically in time, in excellent agreement with recent theo
