Abstract
The new effect - light backstattering from exciton Bose-condensate
is considered. The effect is connected with photoinduced coherent
recombination of two excitons in the condensate with production of two
photons with opposite momenta. The effect of two-exciton coherent
recombination leads also to the appearence of the second order coherence in
exciton luminescence connected with squeezing between photon states with
opposite momenta. The estimations given for Cu2O and GaAs excitons show
that the effect of stimulated light backscattering can be detected
experimentally. Moreover, in the system of 2D excitons in coupled quantum
wells the effect of stimulated anomalous light transmission must also
take place. Analogous effects can take place also in systems of
Bose-condensed atoms in excited (but metastable) states.
