A linearly polarized electric field promotes and electron from the valence to the condcution band leaving a positive particle or hole behind. The Coulomb interaction creates a hydrogen atom like resonance.

The Interband Polariton Case (TM)
Microcavity light-hole interband (exciton-polariton). The solid (blue) lines are for a pump-generated density N=0 and the dashed (red) curves are for N=2.51011 cm-2. The inset displays the commutator of the exciton operator as a function of injected carrier density.

Antipolaritons
Analytical Expressions obtained considering: Same effective mass in all subbands. Neglect the exchange and subband shifts (that
usually compensate each other to a large extent).
Keep only the depolarization correction. Averaged k-independent dephasing (can be
frequency dependent and the expression is still analytical).

Anomalous dispersions as a function of inversion
In both absorption and gain cases, the branches are repelled from the cold cavity crossing as the excitation density increases.

Summary
In summary, this paper demonstrates that in the intersubband case, there is interesting physics beyond the polariton concept:
(i) Anomalous dispersions can be found for the optical gain region in which the medium is inverted
(ii) These dispersions are well described by an "intersubband antipolariton" (iii) Bosonic Effects can be manipulated by selective injection.

Forthcoming
(i) Full treatment of diagonal and nondiagonal dephasing.
(ii) Full reflection and transmission solution including many body effects beyond Hartree Fock. (Quantum Mechanical Input Output Relations).
(iii) Study multiple subband system with coexisting gain and absorption branches.
(iv) Further studies of strong correlation in intersubband optics beyond bosonic approximations.
