Semiconductor Exciton Polaritons

Quantum Light, University of Sheffield

We explain underlying physics of exciton-polariton formation in a semiconductor microcavity. Fascinating fundamental effects can be observed in microcavity polariton systems, such as stimulated parametric scattering, non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity. We have a large research activity aimed at understanding and exploiting the light-matter interactions in exciton-polariton systems.
