dc.descriptionA transition between the strong (coherent) and weak (incoherent) coupling limits of resonant interaction between quantum well (QW) excitons and bulk photons is analyzed and quantified as a function of the incoherent damping rate caused by exciton-phonon and exciton-exciton scattering. For confined QW polaritons, a second, anomalous, damping-induced dispersion branch arises and develops with increasing damping. In this case, the strong-weak coupling transition is attributed to a critical damping rate, when the intersection of the normal and damping-induced dispersion branches occurs. For the radiative states of QW excitons, i.e., for radiative QW polaritons, the transition is described as a qualitative change of the photoluminescence spectrum at grazing angles along the QW structure. Furthermore, we show that the radiative corrections to the QW exciton states with in-plane wavevector approaching the photon cone are universally scaled by an energy parameter rather than diverge. The strong-weak coupling transition rates are also proportional to the same energy parameter. The numerical evaluations are given for a GaAs single quantum well with realistic parameters.
