Stratification of a coherent state of excitons sustained by optical pumping
Balkarei Yu. I. , Kogan A. S.
An instability of a coherent state of Wannier-Mott excitons sustained by a resonant pump wave is analyzed. The instability involves a spatially periodic stratification with a period L~Lex= (¥i/my)xn, where m is the effective exciton mass, and γ is the reciprocal exciton lifetime.
