title: Theory of resonant rayleigh scattering from semiconductor microcavities: signatures of disorder
abstract: We develop a self-consistent, microscopic theory of coherent resonant secondary emission from semiconductor microcavities in the normal-mode-coupling regime. Our theory provides a quantitative description of the spectral, temporal, and angular properties of the disorder-induced emission component-resonant Rayleigh scattering-and offers an intuitive physical explanation of emission properties.
