Direct and indirect excitons and polaritons in coupled quantum well microcavities

Journal Article Sivalertporn, K. ; Muljarov, E. A. - AIP Conference Proceedings

We present an accurate calculation of exciton states in coupled quantum wells (CQWs) in an external electric field. The energies, oscillator strengths, and absorption spectrum of excitons in symmetric AlGaAs CQWs and asymmetric InGaAs CQWs are calculated for different electric fields. It is demonstrated that the ground state of the system switches from direct to indirect exciton with dramatic changes of its binding energy and oscillator strength, the calculated radiative lifetime being in quantitative agreement with a photoluminescence decay measurement in AlGaAs CQWs. At the same time, the brightest excited state represents a direct exciton which is almost unaffected bymore »« less

Final Report, DOE grant DE-FG02-99ER45780, "Indirect Excitons in Coupled Quantum Wells"

Technical Report Snoke, david W.

The is the final technical report for this project, which was funded by the DOE from 1999 to 2012. The project focused on experimental studies of spatially indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells, with the aim of understanding the quantum physics of these particles, including such effects as pattern formation due to electron-hole charge separation, the Mott plasma-insulator transition, luminescence up-conversion through field-assisted tunneling, luminescence line shifts due to many-body renormalization and magnetic field effects on tunneling, and proposed effects such as Bose-Einstein condensation of indirect excitons and phase separation of bright and dark indirect excitons. Significant results are summarizedmore »« less

Stimulated Scattering of Indirect Excitons in Coupled Quantum Wells: Signature of a Degenerate Bose-Gas of Excitons

Journal Article Butov, L V ; Ivanov, A L ; Imamoglu, A ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We observe and analyze strongly nonlinear photoluminescence kinetics of indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells at low bath temperatures, {ge}50 mK . The long recombination lifetime of indirect excitons promotes accumulation of these Bose particles in the lowest energy states and allows the photoexcited excitons to cool down to temperatures where the dilute 2D gas of indirect excitons becomes statistically degenerate. Our main result{emdash}a strong enhancement of the exciton scattering rate to the low-energy states with increasing concentration of the indirect excitons{emdash}reveals bosonic stimulation of exciton scattering, which is a signature of a degenerate Bose-gas of excitons.
