Novel Materials Based on Nonideal Supercrystal Formed by a Tunnel Connected Array of Microcavities Containing Ensembles of Quantum Dots

Abstract

Numerical model for a defect-containing lattice of microcavities with embedded ultracold atomic clusters (quantum dots) is developed. It is assumed that certain fractions of quantum dots are absent, which leads to transformation of polariton spectrum of the overall structure. The dispersion relations for polaritonic modes are derived as functions of structure defects concentrations and elastic strain. It is shown that, as a result of elastic strain of the system and presence of structural defects under study, it is possible to achieve necessary changes in its energy structure (and, therefore, optical properties) determined by the rearrangement of the polariton spectrum.
