Thermal equilibrium of light-matter interaction in InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells
We investigated the thermal equilibrium relation between absorption and emission of photons in semiconductor InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells by employing a spectrally resolved photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. Spectral temperatures were extracted for a wide range of sample temperatures. A deviation from the actual sample temperature is found for values below 60 K, which is attributed to the localisation of excitons and photoexcited carriers in the inhomogeneities of the quantum wells, preventing efficient relaxation and thermalisation. The vanishing supports this conclusion Stokes shift at higher temperatures and the thermal phonon broadening of the exciton line. Our results provide strong evidence for the suitability of alloy-based quantum wells in laser microcavities for achieving Bose-Einstein condensation of photons.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
