Abstract

We observe experimentally pronounced beats of the intensity of photoluminescence from a bottleneck region of a microcavity in the strong coupling regime. These beats are extremely sensitive to the pumping intensity and vanish for the weak pumping. We show theoretically that the process of polariton-polariton scattering leading to the mixing between bright and dark polariton states is responsible for this effect.
