Electrically Pumped Microcavity Exciton Polariton Laser

摘要

During the second year, the AFOSR grant was primarily used to support my student Wenbing Zhang. Wenbing successfully completed a theoretical study of exciton condensation kinetics that resulted in Ref.2. He then started an experimental investigation of exciton-polaritons under high magnetic fields. During the third year, we continued to study the possibility of realizing a microcavity exciton polariton laser (MEPL) 1. Our primary achievement is the identification of the fundamental relation between exciton-phonon and exciton- photon interactions that must be satisfied before a MEPL can be implemented 2.
