Abstract
Measurements in a semiconductor microcavity reveal the coupling betwee n light- and heavy-hole excitons that is mediated by the electromagnet ic vacuum. Three polariton modes constructed from superpositions of he avy-hole excitons, light-hole excitons, and photons are observed. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theory of three-co upled bosonic modes, each coupled to an independent reservoir. (C) 199 6 American Institute of Physics.
