Voltage control of the spin-dependent interaction constants of Dipolaritons and its application to Optical Parametric Oscillator

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Dipolariton is a voltage controlled mixture of direct and indirect excitons in asymmetric double quantum wells coupled by resonant carrier tunneling, and a microcavity photon. We calculate the voltage dependence of the spin-singlet and spin-triplet interaction parameters α1α_{1} and α2α_{2}. Both parameters can reach values one order of magnitude larger than that of exciton-polaritons thanks to the strong interaction between indirect excitons. We show that the variation of the indirect exciton fraction of the dipolaritons induces a changes of sign of α2α_{2} increasing voltage: the interaction passes from attractive to repulsive. For large enough voltage α2α_{2} becomes larger than α1α_{1} which in principle can lead to the formation of a circularly polarised dipolariton condensate. We propose an application of the α2α_{2} dependence to a voltage-controlled dipolaritonic optical parametric oscillator. The change of sign of α2α_{2} allows an on-site control of the linear polarization degree of the optical signal and its on-demand inversion.
