RESUMEN
Exciton-polariton systems composed of a light-matter quasi-particle with a light effective mass easily realize Bose-Einstein condensation. In this work, we constructed an annular trap in a halide perovskite semiconductor microcavity and observed the spontaneous formation of symmetrical petal-shaped exciton-polariton condensation in the annular trap at room temperature. In our study, we found that the number of petals of the petal-shaped exciton-polariton condensates, which is decided by the orbital angular momentum, is dependent on the light intensity distribution. Therefore, the selective excitation of perovskite microcavity exciton-polariton condensates under all-optical control can be realized by adjusting the light intensity distribution. This could pave the way to room-temperature topological devices, optical cryptographical devices, and new quantum gyroscopes in the exciton-polariton system.
RESUMEN
Although organic polariton condensation has been recently demonstrated, they only utilize the photon part of polaritons and ignore the excitonic contribution because the polariton-polariton and polariton-reservoir interactions are weak in organic microcavities owing to the absence of Coulomb exchange-interactions between Frenkel excitons. We demonstrate highly efficient and strongly polarization-dependent polariton condensates in a microcavity consisting of an H-aggregate organic single-crystalline microbelt sandwiched between two silver reflectors. Benefitting from the advantages of vibronic coupling in H-aggregates and heavy exciton-like polaritons, both macroscopic coherent polariton ground-state population and high-energy quantized-modes are observed. The measurements are qualitatively reproduced based on simulations of the spatiotemporal polariton dynamics. The observation of low threshold polariton lasing, the ease of fabrication, and the potential for efficient electronic charge injection make microcrystals of organic semiconductors attractive candidates for continuous wave and electrically pumped functional photonic polariton circuits and organic polariton lasers, operating at room temperature.
