Engineering strong chiral light-matter interactions in a waveguide-coupled nanocavity
D. Hallett, A. P. Foster, D. M. Whittaker +2
Spin-dependent, directional light-matter interactions form the basis of chiral quantum networks. In the solid state, quantum emitters commonly possess circularly polarised optical…
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…
Effect of Interactions on Vortices in a Non-equilibrium Polariton Condensate
D. N. Krizhanovskii, D. M. Whittaker, R. A. Bradley +9
We demonstrate the creation of vortices in a macroscopically occupied polariton state formed in a semiconductor microcavity. A weak external laser beam carrying orbital angular mom…
Parametric Processes in a Strong-Coupling Planar Microcavity
D. M. Whittaker
I present a theoretical treatment of parametric scattering in strong coupling semiconductor microcavities to model experiments in which parametric oscillator behaviour has been obs…
