Ultrafast Coherent Control of Excitons Using Pulse-Shaping Technique

概要

In this paper, we report on the ultrafast coherent control of excitons in quantum wells using a phase-locked pulse sequence generated by pulse-shaping techniques. The pulse-shaping system with a double liquid-crystal spatial light modulator(SLM), and a Ti_<3+> -sapphire laser is used to generate phase-locked pulses. The ultrafast coherent control of the exciton population and polarization is demonstrated by the observation of the reflectivity change in the pump-probe and the diffracted power in the degenerate-four-wave-mixing(DFWM)measurements. In single quantum wells, good coherent control characteristics with 87% coherent carrier destruction are demonstrated at the low excitation power of 0.15 mW(〜1.1 × 10^<10> photons/cm^2). In addition, the preliminary manipulation of the exciton population is demonstrated by the phase-locked triple pulses. In the case of coupled quantum wells, the modulation of the SLM is carefully controlled and the coherent control of both the exciton population and the polarization is demonstrated in the two different coupled quantum-well samples.
