Abstract

We report on a detailed experimental investigation of interbranch parametric scattering processes in one-dimensional semiconductor microcavities. Band dispersion and corresponding far-field emission patterns are studied by polarization-resolved and power-dependence measurements under resonant and nonresonant excitation at normal incidence. We demonstrate the realization of optical parametric oscillation of balanced twin beams, which are degenerate in energy and split in momentum space. This achievement is shown for both the strong and the weak coupling regime, highlighting the versatility of this peculiar microcavity system.
