BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION OF EXCITON-POLARITONS
This article summarizes recent work on the exciton-polariton BEC at Stanford, which was presented at ICAP 2008. The covered topics include cooperative cooling of exciton-polariton spin mixtures, quantum degeneracy at thermal equilibrium condition, Bogoliubov excitation spectrum, first and second order coherence, and dynamical condensation at excited Bloch bands in a one-dimensional lattice.
