Microscopic theory of polariton-polariton interactions
arXiv:2212.02597 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.110.195435
Abstract
We develop a comprehensive theoretical model for the interaction strength between a pair of exciton-polaritons in microcavity devices. Ab initio numerical calculations for dipolar polaritons in one dimension are used as a starting point to build a Born-Oppenheimer theory that generally applies to generic -- dipolar or non-dipolar polaritons -- in both one and two dimensions. This theory anticipates that the strong coupling to the cavity mode leads to a drastic enhancement of the polariton interactions as compared to bare excitons, and predicts unexpected scaling laws in the interaction strength as a function of system parameters. Comparisons with available experimental data are drawn, and specific suggestions to validate it with new experiments are made. Promising strategies towards the observation of a strong polariton blockade regime are finally sketched.
