Abstract
A new effect—light backscattering from exciton Bose-condensate—is considered. This effect is connected with the photoinduced coherent recombination of two excitons in the condensate with the production of two photons with opposite momenta. The effect of two-exciton coherent recombination leads also to the appearance of the second-order coherence in exciton luminescence connected with squeezing between photon states with opposite momenta. The estimations given for Cu2O and GaAs excitons show that the effect of stimulated light backscattering can be detected experimentally. Moreover, in the system of 2D excitons in coupled quantum wells, the effect of stimulated anomalous light transmission must also take place. Anologous effects can also take place in systems of Bose-condensed atoms in excited (but metastable) states.
