We demonstrate that the interaction between excitons and a sea of incoherent electrons does not preclude excitons dressing by light. We investigate if exciton-electron scattering plays some inhibiting role in the coherent light-exciton coupling by measurin ...
A large number of characterization tools for semiconductor based heterostructures are available nowadays. Most of these techniques deliver high temporal resolution (down to hundreds of femtoseconds) or good spatial resolution (down to sub nanometer resolut ...
The purpose of my thesis is to provide a theoretical analysis of the dynamics of optically excited carriers in semiconductor confined systems. In particular, I will focus the investigations on the effects due to the presence of a strong electron-hole Coulo ...
Organic semiconductors are promising materials for future electronic and electroluminescence applications. A detailed understanding of organic layers and nano-sized crystals down to single molecules can address fundamental questions of contacting organic s ...
I report on the effect of a moderate excess electron population on nonlinearities in modulation-doped CdTe quantum wells. I show that the electron population does not qualitatively affect the nature of correlations between excitons. In this respect, I brin ...
This thesis presents a theoretical description of the phase transition, with formation of long-range spatial coherence, occurring in a gas of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity structure. The results and predictions of the theories developed ...
This paper describes recent work on high-occupancy effects in semiconductor microcavities, with emphasis on the variety of new physics and the potential for applications that has been demonstrated recently. It is shown that the ability to manipulate both e ...

We report on the observation of negatively- and positively-charged excitons in the photoluminescence spectra of V-groove quantum wires. The. charged exciton binding energy increases with the strength of the quantum confinement. We demonstrate that fluctuat ...
In this thesis work, we report scanning near-field optical photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements with at best 200 nm spatial resolution performed on disordered semiconductor V-groove AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wires. In order to interpret the results of the ...
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 o ...
