Abstract
We develop a self-consistent, microscopic theory of coherent resonant secon dary emission From semiconductor microcavities in the normal-mode-coupling regime. Our theory provides a quantitative description of the spectral, tem poral, and angular properties of the disorder-induced emission component-re sonant Rayleigh scattering-and offers an intuitive physical explanation of emission properties.
