Polariton Condensation and Lasing
arXiv:1205.5756 · doi:10.1007/978-3-642-24186-4_12
Abstract
The similarities and differences between polariton condensation in microcavities and standard lasing in a semiconductor cavity structure are reviewed. The recent experiments on "photon condensation" are also reviewed.
