Abstract
In the past decade, a two-dimensional matter-light system called the microcavity exciton-polariton has emerged as a new promising candidate of Bose-Einstein condensation BEC in solids. Many pieces of important evidence of polariton BEC have been established recently in GaAs and CdTe microcavities at the liquid helium temperature, opening a door to rich many-body physics inaccessible in experiments before. Technological progress also made polariton BEC at room temperatures promising. In parallel with experimental progresses, theoretical frameworks and numerical simulations are developed, and our understanding of the system has greatly advanced. In this article, recent experiments and corresponding theoretical pictures based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equations and the Boltzmann kinetic simulations for a finite-size BEC of polaritons are reviewed.

Quantum fluids of light

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent theoretical and experimental advances in the fundamental understanding and active control of quantum fluids of light in nonlinear optical systems is presented, from the superfluid flow around a defect at low speeds to the appearance of a Mach-Cherenkov cone in a supersonic flow, to the hydrodynamic formation of topological excitations such as quantized vortices and dark solitons at the surface of large impenetrable obstacles.

Electrical control of neutral and charged excitons in a monolayer semiconductor

TL;DR: This work reports the unambiguous observation and electrostatic tunability of charging effects in positively charged, neutral and negatively charged excitons in field-effect transistors via photoluminescence and finds the charging energies for X(+) and X(-) to be nearly identical implying the same effective mass for electrons and holes.

a Quantum-Mechanical Theory of the Contribution of Excitons to the Complex Dielectric Constant of Crystals.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the ordinary semiclassical theory of the absorption of light by exciton states is not completely satisfactory (in contrast to the case of absorption due to interband transitions).

A GaAs polariton light-emitting diode operating near room temperature

TL;DR: Experimental realization of an electrically pumped semiconductor polariton light-emitting device, which emits directly from polariton states at a temperature of 235 K, represents a substantial step towards the realization of ultra-efficient polaritonic devices with unprecedented characteristics.

Definition of a laser threshold.

TL;DR: It is shown that in this regime the laser undergoes a transition from a linear (amplifier) behavior to a nonlinear (oscillatory) behavior at the proposed threshold pump rate, and the photon recycling resulting from the high spontaneous emission coupling efficiency and high absorption may result in lasing without population inversion.

Exciton Bose condensation : the ground state of an electron-hole gas - I. Mean field description of a simplified model

C. Comte, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1982 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an electron-hole gas in a simple model semiconductor, with direct gap and isotropic, non degenerate bands, was considered and the Bose condensed ground state of that system as a function of density, using a mean field variational ansatz.
