Spin Textures of Exciton-Polaritons in a Tunable Microcavity with Large TE-TM Splitting
Spin Textures of Exciton-Polaritons in a Tunable Microcavity with Large TE-TM Splitting
We report an extended family of spin textures of zero-dimensional exciton-polaritons spatially confined in tunable open microcavity structures. The transverse-electric-transverse-magnetic (TE-TM) splitting, which is enhanced in the open cavity structures, leads to polariton eigenstates carrying quantized spin vortices. Depending on the strength and anisotropy of the cavity confining potential and …
