Abstract
In the spectral region around the excitonic resonance, a photon entering a semiconductor crystal is changed into an exciton polariton by linear coupling with an exciton.1 In 2-D GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells, we have previously experimentally observed and theoretically analyzed the excitonic polariton.1–4 Our results showed that the stability of the excitonic polariton is improved by quantum-confinement effects.5 Therefore in 1-D quantum wires, excitonic polaritons are expected to show even higher stability because the excitonic oscillator strength is larger than that in quantum wells.
