Exciton-polaritons in GaAsbased slab waveguide photonic crystals

C. E. Whittaker, T. Isoniemi, S. Lovett +8

We report the observation of band gaps for low loss exciton-polaritons propagating outside the light cone in GaAs-based planar waveguides patterned into two-dimensional photonic cr…

Observation of Zitterbewegung in photonic microcavities

Seth Lovett, Paul M. Walker, Alexey Osipov +6

We present and experimentally study the effects of the photonic spin-orbit coupling on real space propagetion of polariton wavepackets in planar semiconductor microcavities and pol…

Effect of photonic spin-orbit coupling on the topological edge modes of a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain

C. E. Whittaker, E. Cancellieri, P. M. Walker +7

We study the effect of photonic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in micropillar lattices on the topological edge states of a one-dimensional chain with a zigzag geometry, corresponding to…

Exciton Polaritons in a Two-Dimensional Lieb Lattice with Spin-Orbit Coupling

C. E. Whittaker, E. Cancellieri, P. M. Walker +10

We study exciton-polaritons in a two-dimensional Lieb lattice of micropillars. The energy spectrum of the system features two flat bands formed from and photonic orbi…

Polariton pattern formation and photon statistics of the associated emission

C. E. Whittaker, B. Dzurnak, O. A. Egorov +8

We report on the formation of a diverse family of transverse spatial polygon patterns in a microcavity polariton fluid under coherent driving by a blue-detuned pump. Patterns emerg…
