We report on a systematic study of the phase transitions to polariton condensation and further to cavity lasing in a GaAs-based microcavity with respect to exciton-cavity detuning and lattice temperature. Using far field and time-resolved spectroscopy we identify two different modes which are attributed to polariton condensation and cavity lasing, respectively. Thereby we can determine the parameterspace in which polariton condensation can be achieved and the corresponding variation of threshold power. For the investigated sample, we found a lower bound of −12 meV for the exciton-cavity detuning and an upper bound of 90 K for the lattice temperature.[1]
