Impact of saturation on the polariton renormalization in III-nitride based planar microcavities

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Eric Feltin, Raphaël Butté, Jacques Levrat, Georg Rossbach

It has been widely observed that an increasing carrier density in a strongly coupled semiconductor microcavity (MC) alters the dispersion of cavity polaritons, below and above the condensation threshold. The interacting nature of cavity polaritons stems fr ...
