The four-wave mixing data reveal clear signatures of coherent biexcitons which concur with straight-forward polarization selection rules at the Γ point. The type-I samples show the well-established time-domain beating signatures in the transients as well as the corresponding spectral signatures clearly. The latter are also present in type-II samples; however, the smaller exciton and biexciton binding energies in these structures infer longer beating times which, in turn, are accompanied by faster dephasing of the type-II exciton coherences. Furthermore, the THz absorption following spectrally narrow, picosecond excitation at energies in the vicinity of the 1s exciton resonance are discussed. Here, the optical signatures yield the well-established redshifts and blueshifts for the appropriate polarization geometries in type-I quantum well samples also termed “AC Stark Effect”. The THz probe reveals intriguing spectral features which can be ascribed to coherent negative absorption following an excitation into a virtual state for an excitation below the 1s exciton resonance.

However, bad cavities can be utilized for several applications, where lower Q-factors are required, e.g., to increase the spectral width of the cavity mode. In this work, we demonstrate that low-Q cavities can be beneficial for preparing specific electronic steady states when certain quantum states of light are applied. We investigate the interaction between quantum light with various statistics and matter represented by a Λ-type three-level system in lossy cavities, assuming that cavity losses are the dominant loss mechanism. We show that cavity losses lead to non-trivial electronic steady states that can be controlled by the loss rate and the initial statistics of the quantum fields. We discuss the mechanism of the formation of such steady states on the basis of the equations of motion and present both analytical expressions and numerical simulations for such steady states.}}, author = {{Rose, Hendrik and Tikhonova, O V and Meier, Torsten and Sharapova, Polina}}, issn = {{1367-2630}}, journal = {{New Journal of Physics}}, keywords = {{General Physics and Astronomy}}, number = {{6}}, publisher = {{IOP Publishing}}, title = {{{Steady states of Λ-type three-level systems excited by quantum light with various photon statistics in lossy cavities}}}, doi = {{10.1088/1367-2630/ac74d8}}, volume = {{24}}, year = {{2022}}, } @article{37319, author = {{Grisard, S. and Rose, Hendrik and Trifonov, A.

Here, we show that the electron and its associated hole can be elastically scattered by neighboring atoms when their wavelength approaches the atomic size. We reveal that the elastic scattering of electron/hole from neighboring atoms can dramatically influence the electron recombination with its left-behind hole, which turns out to be the fundamental reason for the anisotropic interband HHG observed recently in bulk crystals. Our findings link the electron/hole backward scattering with Van Hove singularities and forward scattering with critical lines in the band structure and thus build a clear mapping between the band structure and the harmonic spectrum. Our work provides a unifying picture for several seemingly unrelated experimental observations and theoretical predictions, including the anisotropic harmonic emission in MgO, the atomic-like recollision mechanism of solid HHG, and the delocalization of HHG in ZnO.
