Exact Quantum Calculation Of Polariton Dispersion In Semiconductor Microcavities

We develop a general quantum mechanical method to calculate the dispersion relations of polariton modes for a quantum well embedded in a semiconductor planar microcavity. The method is based on the properties of the Green's function;of the electromagnetic ...
