| Research Abstract |
(1) We have theoretically clarified the mode structure of the coupled system of the radiation and the excitons confined in a thin film. The eigenenergies of the respective states include the negative shift at thin region, but they jump to the energies of the upper polaritons at a particular thickness for each state. If the resonant enhancement of the components of internal field associated with the respective states occurs before these jumps, the large nonlinear response appears. For the thicker case, the radiative decay constant becomes very large for the higher levels including the non-dipole type excitonic states.
(2) By the time-resolved reflectance measurement of the GaAs multiple layers, we have verified that the radiative decay rate increases in proportion to the number of GaAs layers as predicted in the theory.
(3) We have found the optical bistablity in nanoscale thinflim due to the nanoscale spatial structure of the internal field, and the novel photofunctions due to the nanoscale polarization orientation configurations.
