On the remote coherence of polariton condensates in 1D microcavities: a photoluminescence study

M. D. Martín, E. Rozas, C. Antón +2

In this manuscript we will gather clear experimental evidences of remote coherence between two polariton condensate droplets that have never overlapped in real space and discuss ho…
