  • We show theoretically that disorder-induced scattering of light between « bright » and « dark » exciton-polariton modes governs the coherent optical response of GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) on a femtosecond scale. The incident light essentially excites the “bright” modes, they emit the most part of light radiatively during first few hundreds of femtoseconds. The rest of the coherent signal, i.e. the temporal behaviour on a scale from 1 to few picoseconds, comes from the “dark” modes, populated due to the elastic scattering processes in the system, and mixed so that they form two bulk-like polariton branches. The pico-second scale optical response of GaN/AlGaN QWs is essentially incoherent because of a very efficient scattering of exciton-polaritons by a structural disorder.
