Polaritonic analogue of Datta and Das spin transistor

arXiv:0911.1621 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.81.125327

Abstract

We propose the scheme of a novel spin-optronic device, optical analog of Datta and Das spin transistor for the electrons. The role of the ferromagnetic-nonmagnetic contact is played by a spatially confined cavity polariton BEC. The condensate is responsible for the appearance of effective magnetic field which rotates the spin state of a propagating pulse of polaritons allowing to tune the transmittivity of the device.
