Abstract
We present a systematic theory of Coulomb-induced correlation effects in the nonlinear optical processes within the strong-coupling regime. In this paper, we shall set a dynamics controlled truncation scheme microscopic treatment of nonlinear parametric processes in semiconductor microcavities including the electromagnetic field quantization. It represents the starting point for the microscopic approach to quantum optics experiments in the strong-coupling regime without any assumption on the quantum statistics of electronic excitations (excitons) involved. We exploit a previous technique, which was used in the semiclassical context, which, once applied to four-wave mixing in quantum wells, allowed us to understand a wide range of observed phenomena. We end up with dynamical equations for exciton and photon operators, which extend the usual semiclassical description of Coulomb interaction effects in terms of a mean-field term plus a genuine noninstantaneous four-particle correlation to quantum optical effects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
