Abstract:We show theoretically that disorder-induced scattering of light between « bright » and « dark » exciton-polariton modes governs the coherent optical response of GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) on a femtosecond scale. The incident light essentially excites the "bright" modes, they emit the most part of light radiatively during first few hundreds of femtoseconds. The rest of the coherent signal, i.e. the temporal behaviour on a scale from 1 to few picoseconds, comes from the "dark" modes, populated due to the elas… Show more
