Recent experiments have demonstrated that light and matter can mix together to an extreme
degree, and previously uncharted regimes of light-matter interactions are currently being …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) as an essential nonlinear optical effect, has gradually
shifted its research trend toward the integration and miniaturization of photonic and …

Quantum mechanical interactions between electromagnetic radiation and matter underlie a
broad spectrum of optical phenomena. Strong light-matter interactions result in the well …

As a consequence of degeneracies arising from crystal symmetries, it is possible for electron
states at band-edges ('valleys') to have additional spin-like quantum numbers,,,,,. An …

Abstract The exciton–polariton (EP), a half-light and half-matter quasiparticle, is potentially
an important element for future photonic and quantum technologies,,,. It provides both strong …

Over the past 70 years, the semiconductor industry has undergone transformative changes,
largely driven by the miniaturization of devices and the integration of innovative structures …

Conspectus The interaction of emitters with plasmonic cavities (PCs) has been studied
extensively during the past decade. Much of the experimental work has focused on the weak …

Controlling the interaction between light and matter at micro-and nano-scale can provide
new opportunities for modern optics and optoelectronics. An archetypical example is …

Microcavity polaritons are composite half-light half-matter quasiparticles, which have
recently been demonstrated to exhibit rich physical properties, such as non-equilibrium …

This review article provides an overview of recent advances in the study and understanding
of dynamics of excitons in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) or quantum dots (QDs) …
