In a pump-probe experiment, we have been able to control, with phase-locked probe pulses, the ultrafast nonlinear optical emission of a semiconductor microcavity, arising from polariton parametric amplification. This evidences the coherence of the polarito ...
This thesis presents the coherence properties of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. Semiconductor microcavities are microstructures in which the exciton ground state of a semiconductor quantum well is coupled to a photonic mode of a microresonator. ...
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 ...

Recent work on polariton-polariton scattering in semiconductor microcavities under continuous wave excitation conditions is reviewed. For weak non-resonant laser excitation, a marked bottleneck in the polariton distribution is observed, but which is suppre ...
Synchrotron radiation induced total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) and conventional 45 degrees energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF) using a 150-nm-thick AP1 (TM) film as sample carrier have been exploited for the elemental analysis o ...
When exposed to ionising radiation, living tissue can potentially suffer somatic and genetic damage - effects depending mainly on the radiation dose or energy absorbed, the type of radiation, and the type and mass of cells affected. It is well known that l ...
The surface polariton properties of TM or TE plane wave scattered by a coated cylinder are investigated in this paper. The coated cylinder (whose outer radius is much smaller than the wavelength) is assumed to be electrically small and low dissipative. Ana ...
We present numerical experiments of light scattering by a circular dielectric cylinder embedded in a stratified background, using the Greens tensor technique. The stratified background consists of two or three dielectric layers, the latter forming an anti- ...
The strong coupling of excitons and photons inside a semiconductor microcavity forms a trap in k-space for the coupled polaritons. This trap produces new behaviour from the strong parametric scattering of polaritons on the walls of the trap, from condensat ...
An investigation of the parametric amplification and its coherent control in a semiconductor micro-cavity is presented. The time and angle resolved pump and probe experiments show that several ps after pumping parametric scattering is still phase coherent. ...
