Dynamics of excited-state condensate for optically confined exciton-polaritons
Abstract:
We report experimental studies on the dynamics of excited-state condensate for exciton-polaritons confined in an optically generated trap. The three-dimensionally confined trap was realized by imposing two optical barriers onto a one-dimensional ZnO whispering gallery microcavity. Experimentally, we characterized the confined polariton condensate by varying the trap width and the barrier height. Theoretically, we calculated the spatial overlap between the polariton wavefunction and the excitonic reservoir. Direct comparison of these results verified that such polariton-reservoir overlap was responsible for the observed excited-state polariton condensate.
