Microscopic Theory of Polariton Lasing via Vibronically Assisted Scattering

arXiv:1306.2222 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.88.075321

Abstract

Polariton lasing has recently been observed in strongly coupled crystalline anthracene microcavities. A simple model is developed describing the onset of the non-linear threshold based on a master equation including the relevant relaxation processes and employing realistic material parameters. The mechanism governing the build-up of the polariton population - namely bosonic stimulated scattering from the exciton reservoir via a vibronically assisted process - is characterized and its efficiency calculated on the basis of a microscopic theory. The role of polariton-polariton bimolecular quenching is identified and temperature dependent effects are discussed.
