Research
Microscopic theory of
nonlinear optics of semiconductor quantum well structures. The
main topic of investigation is the quantum mechanics of interacting
electrons and/or excitons in the semiconductor. Recent and current
applications to understand experiments include
electromagnetically-induced transparency in quantum wells, Raman
coherences, four wave mixing in microcavities, and optically induced
polarization shift in quantum well Bragg structures. Also studied
are conceptual issues such as the bosonic aspects of quantum well
excitons. |
