Nonlinear Optics in Guided Geometries - Abstract
Skryabin, Dmitry
I will discuss bright and dark solitons
and vortices of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities
operating in strong coupling regime.
Cavities with and without periodic and other forms of potentials will be considered.
The reported structures
are promising candidates for applications in all-optical
signal processing because their excitation time and
required pump powers are few orders of magnitude
less than those of their weakly coupled counterparts.
