What Determines Inhomogeneous Line Widths in Semiconductor Microcavities?

Abstract

Microcavity inhomogeneous line widths are calculated numerically using a microscopic two dimensional model of the polariton interaction with quantum well disorder. The calculations show show that in most structures the line widths are determined by disorder scattering between polariton and exciton states. This is because motional narrowing effectively removes the contribution due to multiple scattering between polariton states.
