We report on a new mechanism of giant phase modulation. The phenomenon arises when dispersed photonic mode (slow light) strongly couples to an excitonic resonance. In such case, even small amount optically injected carriers creates potential barrier for the propagating exciton-polariton which provokes considerable shift. evidence this effect by fabricating Mach-Zehnder interferometer, modulating output intensity constructive or destructive interferences controlled optical pumping micrometric...

We report on the realization of a double barrier resonant tunneling diode for cavity polaritons, by lateral patterning one-dimensional cavity. Sharp transmission resonances are demonstrated when sending polariton flow onto device. use non-resonant beam can be used as an optical gate and control device transmission. Finally we evidence distortion profile going to high density regime, signature polariton-polariton interactions.

Abstract Theoretical treatment had shown that syndiotactic propagation should be slightly favored energetically over isotactic in free radical vinyl chloride polymerization. This prediction has been confirmed experimentally by x‐ray and infrared investigations of polymers prepared at various temperatures. The initiator was a peroxide, azodiisobutyronitrile, or tri‐ n ‐butylboron, no detectable influence on the results. As polymerization temperature is lowered, number lines arcs diffraction...

Wurtzite zinc oxide (ZnO) has a preferential growth direction along the c-axis of hexagonal unit cell, which, especially in combination with underlying (amorphous) heterostructures, can lead to high surface roughness for ZnO layers. This poses significant challenge construction e.g. photonic waveguides or gratings. Here, we propose an efficient way smoothing surfaces after deposition using collimated beam Argon ions. Furthermore, influence this treatment at different angles incidence and...

Due to its low symmetry, $\ensuremath{\beta}$-${\mathrm{Ga}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ exhibits a strongly anisotropic optical response. As result, the absorption spectra change with polarization state of incoming photons. To understand this phenomenon, here we calculate complete electromagnetic wave equation solutions as function linear angle and photon energy for using previously measured complex dielectric tensor. The significant off-diagonal terms in tensor can result nonexponential decay...
