Non-equilibrium AC Stark effect and long-lived exciton-polariton states in semiconductor Mie resonators

Abstract

We present Floquet-Keldysh non-equilibrium dynamical mean field calculations (DMFT) with an iterative perturbative solver (IPT) for high pump-power induced Stark states yielding a closing gap within semiconductor bulk and nano-cavities. Our model predicts unusual broadening of bands in systems like ZnO random lasers. This can be explained as an exciton-polariton coupling within the single crystalline pillar meeting the Mie resonance condition. Extraordinary enhancement of the lifetime of electronic states within the gap can lead to stable lasing modes and gain narrowing.
