A microphotonic astrocomb

Tobias Kippenberg, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Junqiu Liu, Tobias Herr, Miles Henry Anderson, Stefan Kundermann

Earth-like planets, dark energy and variability of fundamental physical constants can be discovered by observing wavelength shifts in the optical spectra of astronomical objects(1-5). These wavelength shifts are so tiny that exquisitely accurate and precis ...

Exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensation: advances and issues

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Stefan Kundermann

In this review, we present a comprehensive set of experimental results on microcavity-polariton Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), obtained within a close collaboration between Institut Neel, Grenoble, France and EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. First, we recal ...

Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Vincenzo Savona, Stefan Kundermann

Phase transitions to quantum condensed phases - such as Bose - Einstein condensation (BEC), superfluidity, and superconductivity - have long fascinated scientists, as they bring pure quantum effects to a macroscopic scale. BEC has, for example, famously be ...

Coherence properties of microcavity polaritons : from parametric scattering to Bose-Einstein condensation

Stefan Kundermann

This thesis presents the coherence properties of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. Semiconductor microcavities are microstructures in which the exciton ground state of a semiconductor quantum well is coupled to a photonic mode of a microresonator. ...
