Dark polariton-solitons in semiconductor microcavities
arXiv:0810.2671 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.78.061801
Abstract
We report the existence, symmetry breaking and other instabilities of dark polariton-solitons in semiconductor microcavities operating in the strong coupling regime. These half-light half-matter solitons are potential candidates for applications in all-optical signal processing. Their excitation time and required pump powers are a few orders of magnitude less than those of their weakly coupled light-only counterparts.
