Experimental investigation of quantum effects in time-resolved resonant Rayleigh scattering from quantum well excitons
01 March 2000
Resonant Rayleigh scattering from quantum well excitons is investigated using ultrafast spectral interferometry. We isolate the coherent Rayleigh scattering from incoherent luminescence in a single speckle. Averaging the resonant Rayleigh intensity over several speckles allows us to identify features in support of quantum corrections to the classical description of the underlying scattering process.
