Abstract:
A model of exciton polarization fluctuations due to randomly rough interfaces of a quantum well QW is proposed. On this basis, a theory of the resonant elastic scattering of light is developed for a random-thickness QW placed in a semiconductor microcavity. Numerical study of the cross-section shows that the light scattering induced by roughness with standard deviation height as small as 0.2 nm could be detected experimentally. An enhancement of backscattering intensity is predicted.
