Abstract
We describe experiments on a semiconductor microcavity which provide t he first demonstration of motional narrowing in semiconductor inter-su bband optical transitions. Significant narrowing occurs because of the small mass of the polaritons in a microcavity. The demonstration is m ade possible by the control provided in a microcavity of the mixing be tween photon and exciton states, and hence the dispersion of the polar iton.
