Abstract
We study formation of superfluid currents of exciton polaritons in annular polariton condensates in a cylindrical micropillar cavity under the spatially localised nonresonant optical pumping. Since polariton condensates are strongly nonequilibrium systems, the trapping potential for polaritons, formed by the pillar edge and the reservoir of optically induced incoherent excitons, is complex in general case. Its imaginary part includes the spatially distributed gain from the pump and losses of polaritons in the condensate. We show that engineering the gain-loss balance in the micropillar plane gives access to the excited states of the polariton condensate. We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally formation of vortices in double concentric ring polariton condensates in the complex annular trap potential.
