Many-body physics of a quantum fluid of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity
arXiv:cond-mat/0610430 · doi:10.1007/s10909-007-9414-x
Abstract
Some recent results concerning nonlinear optics in semiconductor microcavities are reviewed from the point of view of the many-body physics of an interacting photon gas. Analogies with systems of cold atoms at thermal equilibrium are drawn, and the peculiar behaviours due to the non-equilibrium regime pointed out. The richness of the predicted behaviours shows the potentialities of optical systems for the study of the physics of quantum fluids.
