Abstract
The nonlinear optical response of semiconductor microcavities in the nonper tubative regime is studied in resonant single-beam-transmission and pump-pr obe experiments. In both cases a pronounced third transmission peak lying s pectrally between the two normal modes is observed. A fully quantized theor y is essential for the agreement with the experimental observations, demons trating that quantum fluctuations leading to intraband polarizations are re sponsible for this effect.
