Abstract
When the cavity mode of a high-finesse semiconductor microcavity is tuned toward a sharp quantum-well exciton absorption line, the dipole coupling between these two oscillators results in a normal-mode coupling (NMC) anticrossing curve [1], When the two oscillators have the same frequency there are two transmission peaks (see Fig. 1 inset) and two reflection dips corresponding to two new eigenfrequencies of the coupled system. The nonlinear transmission and reflection of 150-fs modelocked pulses incident on an NMC microcavity are reported.
