Strong light-matter coupling in Rydberg excitons — •Peter Grünwald1, Julian Heckötter2, Marc Aßmann2, Dietmar Fröhlich2, Manfred Bayer2, Heinrich Stolz1, and Stefan Scheel11Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, Rostock, Germany — 2Experimentelle Physik 2, TU Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany

Rydberg systems show strong light-matter coupling due to the long life times and large dipole moments of states with high principal quantum number n. In Rydberg excitons [1], the single-exciton light-matter coupling is weak. However, due to collective excitation, strong coupling occurs even for low laser intensities (∼µW/mm2). Additionally, the high-n exciton states display little pure dephasing [2], making them interesting for quantum-optical research. We will discuss the optical properties of Rydberg excitons, and their implications for the Rydberg exciton fluorescence. In particular, nonclassical effects and their detection will be addressed. Because of the limited detection efficiency, homodyne correlation measurements [3] are required.
