Ultra-strong light-matter coupling in quantum infrared detectors
In the majority of optoelectronic devices emission and absorption of light are considered as perturbative phenomena. The objective of my project is to explore the ultra-strong light-matter coupling regime in a new type of optoelectronic semiconductor-based devices operating in the THz and MIR frequency range (lambda=3-300µm). These devices will allow the first time experimental observation of intrinsically quantum features of the ultra-strong coupling regime, such as quantum vacuum radiation (dynamical Casimir effect) and squeezing of polaritons states. In these devices, generically acting as detectors, the light-matter coupled states (polaritons) will be efficiently converted into…
