| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a novel type of coherent spectroscopy (time-resolved polarimetry using nonlinear laser spectroscopy known as degenerate four-wave-mixing) using polarization vortices characterized by a vector singularity on the beam cross-section, and performed the spectroscopy on semiconductor GaN excitons (electron-hole pairs). We successfully obtained the results concerned as follows: (a) quantitative snap-shot evaluations of exciton spin exchange and uniaxial strain energies; especially for small residual anisotropies in isotropic samples; (b) coherent dynamics of the polarization singularities resulting from broken rotational symmetries of excitons, (c) spin and pseudo-spin dynamics and their correlations resulting from excitons interactions.
