Abstract
Electron resonant tunneling into the exciton state in a semiconductor quantum well may be turned into the tunneling to hybrid exciton-photon modes (exciton polaritons). The latter process can be used to make el ectrically pumped light-emitting devices with high (similar to 50%) qu antum efficiency and fast (similar to ps) radiative decay time.
