- Title: Helicity flip of high-harmonic photons in Haldane nanoribbons
- Authors: Christoph J\"ur{\ss}, Dieter Bauer
- Abstract summary: We investigate the response of thin, hexagonal nanoribbons to an intense laser pulse that is linearly polarized along the ribbon.
Such nanoribbons are prime examples of two-dimensional systems that are bulk-like in one direction and finite in the other direction.

- Abstract: Recent studies in high-harmonic spectroscopy of condensed matter mainly
focused on the bulk of the system under consideration. In this work, we
investigate the response of thin, hexagonal nanoribbons to an intense laser
pulse that is linearly polarized along the ribbon. Such nanoribbons are prime
examples of two-dimensional systems that are bulk-like in one direction and
finite in the other direction. Despite the atomically thin scale in the
direction perpendicular to the linearly polarized driving laser field, the
emitted harmonics are elliptically polarized if an alternating onsite potential
and Haldane hopping is taken into account. For given hoppings, we find a sudden
change of the helicity for a certain harmonic order. The origin of this flip is
traced back to phase differences between the components of Bloch states.

We analyse the effect of a strong perpendicular magnetic field on an intersubband transition in a disordered doped quantum well strongly coupled to an optical cavity.
The magnetic field changes the lineshape of the intersubband optical transition due to the roughness of the interface of the quantum well from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian one.

We study the effect of the spin-orbit coupling between the singlet and the triplet molecular excitons in organic microcavities.
We find that the spin-orbit coupling splits the lower polariton into two branches, and also creates a triplet polariton when the cavity mode is in resonance with the triplet excitons.
