TL;DR: In this article, the dominant decoherence process in a microcavity polariton condensate is explained by self-phase modulation, whereby interactions transform polariton number fluctuations into random energy variations.

Optically-Excited Polariton Condensates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior of polariton condensation with the help of high-quality optical microcavities, and concluded with examples of condensates at elevated temperature, polariton systems with special features and superfluidity studies on polaritons.

Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons
TL;DR: In the last decade, a two-dimensional bosonic system called microcavity exciton-polariton has emerged as a promising candidate of Bose Einstein Condensation (BEC) in solids as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A series of experimental studies of a polariton laser are presented, exploring its properties as a relatively dense degenerate Bose gas and comparing it to a photon laser achieved in the same structure, finding its properties are similar to those of a normal photon laser.

TL;DR: Above a critical pump level, the thermalization time of polaritons at positive detunings becomes shorter than their lifetime, and the Polaritons form a quantum degenerate Bose-Einstein distribution in thermal equilibrium with the lattice.
