Abstract
Observations of cavity QED effects in atomic systems1 have excited recent investigations of normal mode coupling (NMC) in semiconductor microcavities. Both frequency and time-domain measurements showing NMC have been made (initially seen in Ref. 2). Another area of recent interest is the use of pulsed optical homodyne detection to determine the quantum state of the optical field.3'5 We demonstrate the use of pulsed homodyne detection to measure the time-resolved photon statistics during normal mode coupling in a semiconductor microcavity system.
