Published: May 2015

We predict the spontaneous modulated emission from a pair of exciton-polariton condensates due to coherent (Josephson) and dissipative coupling. We show that strong polariton-polariton interaction generates complex dynamics in the weak-lasing domain way beyond Hopf bifurcations. As a result, the exciton-polariton condensates exhibit self-induced oscillations and emit an equidistant frequency comb light spectrum. A plethora of possible emission spectra with asymmetric peak distributions appears due to spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry. The lasing dynamics is affected by the shot noise arising from the influx of polaritons. That results in a complex inhomogeneous line broadening.

An exciton-polariton condensate is a state of matter with collective coherence leading to many fascinating macroscopic quantum effects. Recently, optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) have been demonstrated as peculiar topological states capable of imparting novel characteristics onto the polariton condensates. Organic semiconductors featuring robust Frenkel excitons and high physicochemical tunability potentially offer a promising platform to explore topologically engineering of BIC polariton condensates at room temperature.

Exciton-polariton condensation offers a promising path to low-threshold coherent light sources, impacting fields from communications to healthcare. These hybrid quasiparticles, arising from strong exciton-photon coupling, combine the low effective mass from their photonic component and the strong nonlinear interactions from excitons. While polariton condensation has been achieved in a range of inorganic and organic materials, many systems still face significant challenges despite fulfilling the main properties requirements.

Exciton polaritons formed by the strong coupling between excitons and photons have been extensively studied in transition metal disulfides (TMDs) for their potential to inherit ultralong radiation lifetime and remarkable nonlinearity. Many studies have achieved strong coupling at room temperature. However, the systems in these studies generally lack orderly characteristics and precise controllability, and their tunability also remains rather limited.

Topological polaritons, combining the robustness of the topologically protected edge states against defects and disorder with the strong nonlinear properties of polariton bosons, represent an excellent platform to investigate novel photonic topological phases. We demonstrate the optical spin Hall effect (OSHE) and its symmetry switching in the exciton-polariton regime of pure DPAVBi crystals. Benefiting from the photonic Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling, we observe the separation of left- and right-circularly polarized emission in momentum space and real space, a signature of the OSHE.
