✦ Synopsis

We study the photoluminescence of quantum well excitons imbedded in monolithic microcavities. In the strong coupling regime, a coupled-mode situation develops, the cavity-polariton. We describe a model of the photoluminescence phenomenon in this regime, which by comparison with experiments enables us to determine the cavitypolariton dispersion curve. An excellent agreement with our theoretical model is found.
