2s exciton-polariton revealed in an external magnetic field
We demonstrate the existence of the excited state of an exciton-polariton in
a semiconductor microcavity. The strong coupling of the quantum well heavy-hole
exciton in an excited 2s state to the cavity photon is observed in non-zero
magnetic field due to surprisingly fast increase of Rabi energy of the 2s
exciton-polariton in magnetic field. This effect is explained by a strong
modification of the wave-function of the relative electron-hole motion for the
2s exciton state.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
