Rayleigh scattering in coupled microcavities: Theory

arXiv:1404.7394 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/26/48/485303

Abstract

In this paper we theoretically study how structural disorder in coupled semiconductor heterostructures influences single-particle scattering events that would otherwise be forbidden by symmetry. We extend the model of V. Savona to describe Rayleigh scattering in coupled planar microcavity structures, and answer the question, whether effective filter theories can be ruled out. They can.
