Nonlinear Terahertz Emission in Semiconductor Microcavities
arXiv:1103.1336 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.027401
Abstract
We consider the nonlinear terahertz emission by the system of cavity polaritons in the regime of polariton lasing. To account for the quantum nature of terahertz-polariton coupling we use the Lindblad master equation approach and demonstrate that quantum microcavities reveal rich variety of the nonlinear phenomena in terahertz range, including bistability, short THz pulse generation and THz switching.
