Excitons and cavity polaritons for ultracold atoms in an optical lattice
We study the resonant electronic excitation dynamics for ultracold atoms trapped in a deep optical lattice prepared in a Mott-insulator state. Excitons in these artificial crystals are similar to Frenkel excitons in noble atom or molecular crystals. They appear when the atomic excited state linewidth is smaller than the exciton …
