Collective Oscillations Driven by Correlation in the Nonlinear Optical Regime

Abstract: We present an analytical and numerical study of the coherent exciton polarization including excitonexciton correlation. The time evolution after excitation with ultrashort optical pulses can be divided into a slowly varying polarization component and novel ultrafast collective modes. The frequency and damping of the collective modes are determined by the high-frequency properties of the retarded two-exciton correlation function, which includes Coulomb effects beyond the mean-field approximation. The overall ti… Show more

“…The theory consistently includes all coherent third order (χ (3) ) nonlinearities and the resulting equations of motion are solved in a self-consistent fashion in the optical fields which includes a certain class of higherorder nonlinearities. 30,31,32 Correlations involving more than two excitons and those involving incoherent excitons are neglected. These effects are not expected to qualitatively alter the presented results for the considered coherent exciton densities of ∼ 10 10 cm −2 , especially for excitation well below the exciton resonance.…”
