Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry with trapped polariton condensates

We investigate the indistinguishability of polaritons in optically trapped Bose Einstein condensates by implementing Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometry and test the limitations of two-polariton interference in the coherent, limit-cycle and thermal statistical regimes. We observe that the HOM dynamics of a circularly polarized condensate follows the condensate coherence time with the characteristic HOM-dip approaching the classical limit. Linearly polarized condensates exhibit a combined effect of polariton bunching and two-polariton interference. Under elliptically polarized excitation, the temporal evolution of the spinor condensate results in the revival of the HOM-dip at the spinor Larmor precession frequency.

All-optical linear polarization engineering in single and coupled exciton-polariton condensates

We demonstrate all-optical linear polarization control of exciton-polariton condensates in anisotropic elliptical optical traps. The cavity inherent TE-TM splitting lifts the ground state spin degeneracy with emerging fine structure modes polarized linear parallel and perpendicular to the trap major axis with the condensate populating the latter. Our findings show a new type of polarization control with exciting perspectives in both spinoptronics and studies on extended systems of interacting nonlinear optical elements with anisotropic coupling strength and adjustable fine structure.
