Ultrafast Pump-Probe Analysis of Exciton-Polariton Propagation — Jan Lohrenz¹, Stephan Melzer¹, Claudia Ruppert¹, Ilya Akimov¹, •Matthias Reichelt², Alexander Trautmann², Torsten Meier², and Markus Betz¹ — ¹Experimentelle Physik 2, TU Dortmund, Otto-Hahn-Str. 4, 44221 Dortmund, Germany — ²Department of Physics and CeOPP, University of Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn, Germany

In bulk CdZnTe light is significantly slowed down in a spectral range close to the lower exciton-polariton branch. [1] Here, we investigate nonlinear optical signatures in a pump-probe experiment with femtosecond laser pulses. Experimental data and model simulations for the optical response of a nonlinearly driven two-level system suggest that the excitation induced dephasing [2] and slow light propagation lead to unexpected features in the differential transmission spectra. [3]
