Interaction polariton-polariton dependents de spin
publié le , mis à jour le
Resonant transmission of light through a microcavity in the strong coupling regime is used to estimate the strength of the interaction between polaritons with parallel or antiparallel spins. Their ratio is found to be strongly dependent on the detuning between exciton and photon modes. From negative to zero detuning it changes from about 0 to less than −1. Our observations indicate that at certain conditions the polaritons might rather condense in the real space than form a Bose-Einstein condensate. We analyze theoretically different mechanisms of polariton-polariton interaction including the mean-field electrostatic interaction, the direct exchange interaction, the Van-der-Waals interaction and the indirect exchange interaction via dark exciton and biexciton states.
