Design of a quasi-2D photonic crystal optomechanical cavity with tunable, large -coupling
Mahmoud Kalaee, Taofiq K. Paraiso, Hannes Pfeifer +1
We present the optical and mechanical design of a mechanically compliant quasi-two-dimensional photonic crystal cavity formed from thin-film silicon in which a pair of linear nanos…
Ultrafast tristable spin memory of a coherent polariton gas
Roland Cerna, Yoan Léger, Taofiq K. Paraïso +4
Nonlinear interactions in coherent gases are not only at the origin of of bright and dark solitons and superfluids. At the same time, they give rise to phenomena such as multistabi…
Spin-to-Orbital Angular Momentum Conversion in Semiconductor Microcavities
F. Manni, K. G. Lagoudakis, T. K. Paraïso +7
We experimentally demonstrate a technique for the generation of optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum using a planar semiconductor microcavity. Despite being isotropic sy…
Nonlinear relaxation of 0-dimension-trapped microcavity polaritons
Ounsi El Daif, Gael Nardin, Taofiq K. Paraiso +6
We study the emission properties of confined polariton states in shallow zero-dimensional traps under non-resonant excitation. We evidence several relaxation regimes. For slightly…
Optical manipulation of the wave function of quasiparticles in a solid
R. Cerna, D. Sarchi, T. K. Paraiso +9
Polaritons in semiconductor microcavities are hybrid quasiparticles consisting of a superposition of photons and excitons. Due to the photon component, polaritons are characterized…
