THz Ultra-Strong Light-Matter Coupling up to 200 K with Continuously-Graded Parabolic Quantum Wells

Paul Goulain et al.

Summary: Continuously graded parabolic quantum wells are used to overcome the limitations of square quantum wells at terahertz frequencies. Microcavity intersubband polaritons are formed at frequencies as low as 1.8 THz, with ultra-strong coupling sustained up to 200 K. The use of sub-wavelength resonators preserves the ultra-strong coupling regime, making it a potential approach for generating non-classical light.

Intersubband Polariton-Polariton Scattering in a Dispersive Microcavity

M. Knorr et al.

Summary: The ultrafast scattering dynamics of intersubband polaritons in dispersive cavities embedding GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells were directly studied using a noncollinear pump-probe geometry with phase-stable midinfrared pulses. Selective excitation of the lower polariton at a frequency of similar to 25 THz and at a finite in-plane momentum k(parallel to) resulted in the emergence of a narrowband maximum in the probe reflectivity at k(parallel to) = 0. A quantum mechanical model identified the underlying microscopic process as stimulated coherent polariton-polariton scattering.

Non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation in photonic systems

Jacqueline Bloch et al.

Summary: This Review provides an interdisciplinary overview of Bose-Einstein condensation phenomena in photonic systems, including lasers, dye-filled cavities, excitons in semiconductor heterostructures, and microcavity polaritons. The focus is on highlighting the effects of driven-dissipative, non-equilibrium nature on the condensate.

Unified Description of Saturation and Bistability of Intersubband Transitions in the Weak and Strong Light-Matter Coupling Regimes

Mathieu Jeannin et al.

Summary: This research proposes a unified description of intersubband absorption saturation for quantum wells in a resonator, demonstrating how absorption saturation can be engineered and how it varies with doping concentration in weak and strong light-matter coupling regimes. The study reveals that saturation intensity increases linearly with doping in strong coupling, but remains doping independent in weak coupling. The research opens up possibilities for ultrafast midinfrared semiconductor saturable absorption mirrors and bistable systems.

Ultrafast optical switching and power limiting in intersubband polaritonic metasurfaces

Sander A. Mann et al.

Summary: Highly nonlinear optical materials with fast third-order nonlinear optical response are essential for all-optical photonic devices. By controlling the coupling rate in subwavelength patch antennas coupled to intersubband transitions in multi-quantum-well semiconductor heterostructures, a giant third-order nonlinear response can be achieved, enabling the creation of compact, low-power, highly nonlinear devices for optical power limiters and modulation elements.
