Abstract
Absorption spectra of strongly coupled intersubband cavity polaritons have been measured, using a tunable midinfrared quantum cascade laser, with high angular and spectral resolution. Pronounced linewidth narrowing of the polaritons around the anticrossing was found, with polariton linewidths narrower (4.2 meV) than both the bare intersubband transition linewidth and empty cavity linewidth (6.2 and 6 meV, respectively), at room temperature. This is due to variations in the degree of spatial averaging of the in-plane quantum-well disorder as the polariton's extended coherence length is increased by the photonic coupling over the value corresponding to the bare intersubband transition coherence length.
