Multipolaritons in semiconductor thin layers: Interference effects in the reflectance spectra

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

We consider the case of a plurality of polariton modes due to the valence band structure, and give a one-dimensional model to compute the optical functions in the exciton frequency range. Interference effects of each mode with itself and with the other modes are identified by a fine structure in the reflectivity spectrum.
