We evidence several relaxation regimes. For slightly negative photon-exciton detuning, we observe a nonlinear increase of the emission intensity, characteristic of carrier-carrier scattering assisted relaxation under strong-coupling regime. This demonstrates the efficient relaxation towards a confined state of the system. For slightly positive detuning, we observe the transition from strong to weak coupling regime and then to single-mode lasing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-19T21:41:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.36.+c", "71.35.-y", "78.55.Cr" ], "keywords": [ "microcavity polaritons", "nonlinear relaxation", "shallow zero-dimensional traps", "emission properties", "non-resonant excitation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Feb", "volume": 92, "number": 8, "pages": "081910" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008ApPhL..92h1910E" } } }
