Abstract
Semiconductor microcavities as a composite exciton-cavity system can be characterized by two normal modes. Under an impulsive excitation by a short laser pulse, optical polarizations associated with the two normal modes have a π phase difference. The total induced optical polarization is then expected to exhibit a sin2(Ω1)-like oscillation where 2Ω is the normal mode splitting, reflecting a coherent energy exchange between the exciton and cavity.
