Abstract
A quantum behavior of the light emitted by exciton polaritons excited in a pillar semiconductor microcavity with embedded quantum well is investigated. Considering the bare excitons and photon modes as coupled quantum oscillators allows for an accurate accounting of the nonlinear and dissipative effects. In particular, using the method of the quantum states representation in a quantum phase space via quasiprobability functions (namely, a P-function and a Wigner function), we study the impact of the laser and the exciton-photon detuning on the second order correlation function of the emitted photons. We determine the conditions under which the phenomena of bunching, giant bunching, and antibunching of the emitted light emerge. In particular, we predict the effect of a giant bunching for the case of a large exciton to photon population ratio. Within the domain of parameters supporting a bistability regime we demonstrate the effect of bunching of photons.
