Abstract

We report the observation of macroscopic harmonic states in an optically induced confinement in a highly photoexcited semiconductor microcavity at room temperature. The spatially photomodulated refractive index changes result in the visualization of harmonic states in a micrometer-scale optical potential at quantized energies up to 4 meV even in the weak-coupling plasma limit. We characterize the time evolution of the harmonic states directly from the consequent pulse radiation and identify sequential multiple \sim10 ps pulse lasing with different emitting angles and frequencies.
