Ma. Kaliteevski et al., Electromagnetic theory of the coupling of zero-dimensional exciton and photon states: A quantum dot in a spherical microcavity - art. no. 115305, PHYS REV B, 6411(11), 2001, pp. 5305
Exciton-light coupling in spherical microcavities containing quantum dots h
as been treated by means of classical electrodynamics within the nonlocal d
ielectric response model. Typical anticrossing behavior of zero-dimensional
exciton-polariton modes has been obtained, as well as the weak-coupling-st
rong-coupling threshold. The influence of the cavity Q factor on the optica
l response of the structure has been analyzed.
