The interaction between acoustic phonons and optical quasiparticles has profound implication in both understanding of light-matter interaction and acousto-optical applications. We report on the optical detection of phonon echos resulting from the interaction between acoustic phonons and exciton polaritons in a hybrid (Al,Ga)As microcavity grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The microcavity spacer embedding multiple quantum wells is surrounded by Bragg mirrors designed to enable polariton formation. Simultaneously, the spacer-quantum wells and the Bragg reflectors act as the core and cladding regions, respectively, of an acoustic waveguide sustaining GHz acoustic phonons propagating along [110], excited by side bulk-acoustic-wave transducers. The acoustic modulation gives rise to an optical comb in the polariton photoluminescence, in which both the guided phonon modes and the substrate phonon modes are identified via Fourier transform. Our results demonstrate the robust generation of guided acoustic phonons above 6 GHz as well as their effective coupling to the polaritons, and showcase the sensitive optical detection of acoustic modes.

Keywords: microcavity; waveguide; GHz acoustic phonon; exciton polariton; acousto-optics
