Long coherent dynamics of localized excitons in (In,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells

We study the coherent dynamics of localized excitons in 100-periods of 2.5 nm thick (In,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells with 7.5% indium concentration, measured with spectroscopic resolution through two-pulse and three-pulse photon echoes at the temperature of 1.5 K. A long-lived coherent exciton dynamics is observed in the (In,Ga)N quantum wells: When the laser photon energy is tuned across the 43 meV-wide inhomogeneously broadened resonance line, the coherence time T2 varies between 45 and 255 ps, increasing with stronger exciton localization. The corresponding narrow homogeneous linewidths ranging from 5.2 to 29 {\mu}eV as well as the relatively weak exciton-phonon interaction (0.8 {\mu}eV/K) confirm a strong, quantum dot-like exciton localization in a static disordered potential inside the (In,Ga)N quantum well layers.
