High-resolution coherent probe spectroscopy of a polariton quantum fluid
Ferdinand Claude, Maxime J Jacquet, Romain Usciati +4
Characterising elementary excitations in quantum fluids is essential to study collective effects within. We present an original angle-resolved coherent probe spectroscopy technique…
Quantum vacuum excitation of a quasi-normal mode in an analog model of black hole spacetime
Maxime J Jacquet, Luca Giacomelli, Quentin Valnais +6
Vacuum quantum fluctuations near horizons are known to yield correlated emission by the Hawking effect. We use a driven-dissipative quantum fluid of microcavity polaritons as an an…
Dissipative phase transition with driving-controlled spatial dimension and diffusive boundary conditions
Z. Li, F. Claude, T. Boulier +4
We investigate theoretically and experimentally a first-order dissipative phase transition, with diffusive boundary conditions and the ability to tune the spatial dimension of the…
Dissipation-enhanced collapse singularity of a nonlocal fluid of light in a hot atomic vapor
Pierre Azam, Adrien Fusaro, Quentin Fontaine +6
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a two-dimensional paraxial fluid of light using a near-resonant laser propagating through a hot atomic vapor. We observe a double shock-…
Analogue cosmological particle creation in an ultracold quantum fluid of light
Jeff Steinhauer, Murad Abuzarli, Tangui Aladjidi +6
In inflationary cosmology, the rapid expansion of the early universe resulted in the spontaneous production of cosmological particles from vacuum fluctuations, observable today in…
Spontaneous generation, enhanced propagation and optical imprinting of quantized vortices and dark solitons in a polariton superfluid: towards the control of quantum turbulence
Anne Maitre, Ferdinand Claude, Giovani Lerario +7
In resonantly pumped polariton superfluids we recently explored a new regime based on the bistability of the polariton system to enhance the propagation of polariton fluids up to m…
Blast waves in a paraxial fluid of light
Murad Abuzarli, Tom Bienaimé, Elisabeth Giacobino +2
We study experimentally blast wave dynamics on a weakly interacting fluid of light. The fluid density and velocity are measured in 1D and 2D geometries. Using a state equation aris…
Quantitative Analysis of Shock Wave Dynamics in a Fluid of Light
T. Bienaimé, M. Isoard, Q. Fontaine +4
We report on the formation of a dispersive shock wave in a nonlinear optical medium. We monitor the evolution of the shock by tuning the incoming beam power. The experimental obser…
