Abstract

We study the photon statistics of the field emitted from a semiconductor microcavity containing a quantum well. We present an analytical expression of the autocorrelation function in non-resonant pumping. A dynamical behavior of the autocorrelation function depending of the detuning between exciton and cavity frequencies is discussed.
