From a theoretical point of view, we discuss a variety of phenomena linked to the spin and
polarization degree of freedom of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. We start …

Semiconductor microcavities, in which strong coupling of excitons to confined photon modes
leads to the formation of exciton–polariton modes, have increasingly become a focus for the …

We demonstrate that honeycomb arrays of microcavity pillars behave as an optical-
frequency two-dimensional photonic topological insulator. We show that the interplay …

Exciton polaritons have shown great potential for applications such as low-threshold lasing,
quantum simulation, and dissipation-free circuits. In this paper, we realize a room …

We present a complete photonic logic gate architecture in a compact solid-state system,

We demonstrate a novel way to realize room-temperature polariton parametric scattering in
a one-dimensional ZnO microcavity. The polariton parametric scattering is driven by a …

We review the current hopes for applications of exciton–polaritons in semiconductor
microcavities. These quasi-particles have become distinguished in recent years for a variety …

We study the spin-orbit coupling induced by the splitting between TE and TM optical modes
in a photonic honeycomb lattice. Using a tight-binding approach, we calculate analytically …

Optical parametric oscillation is a nonlinear process that enables coherent generation of
'signal'and 'idler'waves, shifted in frequency from the pump wave,. Efficient parametric …

We investigate the appearance of spontaneous coherence in the parametric emission from
planar semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime. Calculations are …
