Two-dimensional exciton-polariton interactions beyond the Born approximation
Abstract
We provide a many-body theory for the interactions of two-dimensional excitons and polaritons beyond the Born approximation. Taking into account Gaussian quantum fluctuations via the Bogoliubov theory, we find that the two-body interaction strength in two-dimensions has an inverse logarithmic dependence on the scattering length and ground state energy. This leads to a vanishing exciton interaction strength in the zero-momentum limit but a finite polariton interaction strength due to strong light-matter coupling. We also derive the exact Tan relations for exciton-polaritons and calculate Tan's contact coefficient. We show the polariton interaction strength and Tan's contact both exhibit an anomalous enhancement at red photon-exciton detuning when the scattering length is large. Our predictions may provide a qualitatively correct guide for studies of exciton and polariton nonlinearities, and suggest a route to achieving strongly nonlinear polariton gases.
