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…

Spanning the full Poincaré sphere with polariton Rabi oscillations

D. Colas, L. Dominici, S. Donati +11

We propose theoretically and demonstrate experimentally a generation of light pulses whose polarization varies temporally to cover selected areas of the Poincaré sphere with tunabl…

Ultrafast control of Rabi oscillations in a polariton condensate

L. Dominici, D. Colas, S. Donati +10

We report the experimental observation and control of space and time-resolved light-matter Rabi oscillations in a microcavity. Our setup precision and the system coherence are so h…

Vortex and half-vortex dynamics in a spinor quantum fluid of interacting polaritons

L. Dominici, G. Dagvadorj, J. M. Fellows +10

Spinorial or multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates may sustain fractional quanta of circulation, vorticant topological excitations with half integer windings of phase and polar…

Real-space collapse of a polariton condensate

L. Dominici, M. Petrov, M. Matuszewski +10

Polaritons in microcavities are versatile quasi-2D bosonic particles with a high degree of coherence and strong nonlinearities, thanks to their hybrid light-matter character. In th…

Polariton superfluids reveal quantum hydrodynamic solitons

A. Amo, S. Pigeon, D. Sanvitto +9

A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime and neither whirlpools nor wa…
