Abstract
Normal-mode coupling (NMC) or vacuum-field Rabi splitting has been studied for many years. Early experiments used many atoms or even a single atom in a high finesse cavity. Recent observations of NMC in semiconductor microcavities [1] have led to a flurry of investigations. We present here the results of high excitation cw pump-probe experiments which show a new nonlinear behavior, in which the transmission of the two NMC peaks disappears with no appreciable change in NMC splitting.
