Mean-field phase diagram of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a disorder potential

Vincenzo Savona, Luca Fontanesi

We study the quantum phase transition of the 1D weakly interacting Bose gas in the presence of disorder. We characterize the phase transition as a function of disorder and interaction strengths, by inspecting the long-range behavior of the one-body density ...

After the first demonstration of Bose Einstein condensation in the solid state in 2006 and the establishment of exciton polariton condensates in the wider scientific community, an intense interest has been attracted by this phenomenon at both theoretical a ...

Polariton polarization-sensitive phenomena in planar semiconductor microcavities

Timothy Chi Hin Liew

From a theoretical point of view, we discuss a variety of phenomena linked to the spin and polarization degree of freedom of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. We start with linear optical effects including the optical spin Hall effect, for ...

2010

In semiconductor quantum wells embedded in a high finesse microcavity, excitons, which are bound electron-hole systems, strongly couple to photons, forming mixed quasi-particles called polaritons. Polaritons can be coherently excited by an incident laser f ...

Selective photoexcitation of confined exciton-polariton vortices

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gaël Nardin, François Morier-Genoud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Barbara Pietka

We resonantly excite exciton-polariton states confined in cylindrical traps. Using a homodyne detection setup, we are able to image the phase and amplitude of the confined polariton states. We evidence the excitation of vortex states, carrying an integer a ...

We study the wave functions of exciton polaritons trapped in the elliptical traps of a patterned microcavity. A homodyne detection setup with numerical off-axis filtering allows us to retrieve the amplitude and the phase of the wave functions. Doublet stat ...

Coherent Oscillations in an Exciton-Polariton Josephson Junction

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Barbara Pietka

We report on the observation of spontaneous coherent oscillations in a microcavity polariton bosonic Josephson junction. Condensation of exciton polaritons here takes place under incoherent excitation in a double potential well naturally formed in the diso ...

We propose a four-wave mixing experiment to probe the elementary excitation spectrum of a nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate of exciton-polaritons under nonresonant pumping. Analytical calculations based on mean-field theory show that this method is a ...

Spectrum and thermal fluctuations of a microcavity polariton Bose-Einstein condensate

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi

The Hartree-Fock-Popov theory of interacting Bose particles is developed, for modeling exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities undergoing Bose-Einstein condensation. A self-consistent treatment of the linear exciton-photon coupling and of the exc ...

Quantized Vortices in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis

One of the most striking quantum effects in an interacting Bose gas at low temperature is superfluidity. First observed in liquid 4He, this phenomenon has been intensively studied in a variety of systems for its remarkable features such as the persistence ...
