This article offers a review of (chiefly, theoretical) results for self-trapped states (solitons) in
two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) models of nonlinear dissipative media. The …

Microcavity exciton‐polaritons are attractive quantum quasi‐particles resulting from strong
light–matter coupling in a quantum‐well‐cavity structure. They have become one of the most …

Optical microcavities supporting exciton–polariton quasi-particles offer one of the most
powerful platforms for the investigation of the rapidly develo** area of topological …

We provide proof-of-principle illustration of lasing in a two-dimensional polariton topological
insulator. Topological edge states may arise in a structured polariton microcavity under the …

The functionality of many nonlinear and quantum optical devices relies on the effect of
optical bistability. Using microcavity exciton-polaritons in a honeycomb arrangement of …

The paper demonstrates the existence of modulational instability (MI) in nonlinear exciton-
polariton condensates (EPCs). A set of coupled two-dimensional (2D) driven-dissipative …

We present and experimentally study the effects of the photonic spin–orbit coupling on the
real space propagation of polariton wavepackets in planar semiconductor microcavities and …

We predict that the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling, stemming from the transverse
electric–transverse magnetic energy splitting, and the Zeeman effect in semiconductor …

This book is devoted to the consideration of unusual laser beams–vortex or singular beams.
It contains many numerical examples, which clearly show how the phase of optical vortices …

We review, aiming at an audience of final year undergraduates, the phenomena observed
in, and properties of, microcavity exciton–polariton condensates. These are condensates of …
