The exciton binding energy in GaAs-based quantum-well (QW) structures is in the range of ~10 meV, which falls in the terahertz (THz) regime. THz-induced nonlinear optical effects of excitons in QWs are of great interest because they provide new insights into the quantum coherence and wavepacket dynamics in semiconductors. This paper presents a time-resolved study to observe resonant interactions of...
We demonstrate the ultrafast coherent dynamics of exciton wavepackets in semiconductor QWs resonantly driven by strong narrowband THz pulses. Time-resolved THz-pump and optical-probe measurements exhibit large-signal nonlinear optical transients of the HH and LH exciton lines in GaAs/AlGaAs QWs.
The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the nonlinear THz response from the internal transitions of coherent and incoherent excitons based on the formulated microscopic THz theory. Moreover, the response of unexcited semiconductors to extremely intense THz fields is investigated .The intersubband transitions of optically excited quantum wells using linear THz spectroscopy is also studied. The...
We investigate the coherent dynamics of excitonic wavepackets in semiconductors driven by intense narrowband THz pulses. Time-resolved THz-pump and optical-probe measurements demonstrate strong nonlinear-optical transients of the light-hole and heavy-hole excitonic resonances in GaAs/AlGaAs QWs.
Summary form only given. When a quantum-well exciton transition is resonant with a single mode of a high-Q microcavity, the normal modes ("cavity polaritons") of the coupled system are equal admixtures of the exciton and cavity. We have previously shown that, if the lower normal mode is excited by a phase-locked pair of optical pulses, the nonlinear response of a probe pulse tuned to the...
