Pattern formation in the exciton inner ring

We report on the two-beam study of indirect excitons in the inner ring in the exciton emission pattern. One laser beam generates the inner ring and a second weaker beam is positioned in the inner ring. The beam positioned in the inner ring is found to locally suppress the exciton emission intensity. We also report on the inner ring fragmentation and formation of multiple rings in the inner ring region. These features are found to originate from a weak spatial modulation of the excitation beam intensity in the inner ring region. The modulation of exciton emission intensity anticorrelates with the modulation of the laser excitation intensity. The three phenomena—inner ring fragmentation, formation of multiple rings in the inner ring region, and emission suppression by a weak laser beam in the inner ring—have a common feature: a reduction of exciton emission intensity in the region of enhanced laser excitation. This effect is explained in terms of exciton transport and thermalization

Spatially resolved kinetics and spatially separated pump-probe studies of transport and thermalization of indirect excitons

We report on spatially resolved kinetics and spatially separated pump-probe studies of transport and thermalization of indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum well structures

Dynamics of the inner ring in photoluminescence of GaAs/AlGaAs indirect excitons

A theoretical description of the diffusion, thermalization and photoluminescence of indirect excitons in low temperature (≈ 1K) GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells is compared with experiments on their photoluminescence dynamics. The results shown in this contribution demonstrate a highly accurate agreement between the two. We concentrate on two key features seen in the photoluminescence pattern: the formation of an inner ring around a tightly focused laser excitation spot and a rapid increase in the intensity from the excitation spot immediately after laser termination – the PL-jump. These striking effects are explained in terms of the diffusion and relaxation thermodynamics of indirect excitons
