摘要
We report on the strong coupling between surface plasmons and inorganic quantum well excitons. The sample is formed by a corrugated silver film deposited on the top of a heterostructure consisting of five GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Reflectometry experiments at low temperature (77 K) evidence the formation of plasmon/heavy-hole exciton/light-hole exciton mixed states. The interaction energies, deduced by fitting the experimental data with a coupled oscillator model, amount to 22 meV for the plasmon/light-hole exciton and 21 meV for the plasmon/heavy-hole exciton. Some particularities of the plasmon-exciton coupling are also discussed and qualitatively related to the plasmon polarization. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
