Evolution in Real Time and Space of Short Polariton Pulses in Crystals

  • 317 Accesses

Abstract

We demonstrate that short polariton pulses in real time and space can be directly studied by a nonlocal time resolved nonlinear technique. One can directly determine the propagation characteristics and decay of coherence of both bare and dressed polariton pulses in crystals. The technique in particular allows one to differentiate the impact of phonon anharmonicity from that of the dielectric disorder on the polariton coherence.
