Trapping of microcavity exciton polaritons by introducing an additional lateral confinement has been shown to support condensation into the bosonic ground state of the system. These 0D polariton traps then, for example, allow the investigation of interacting polariton condensates by enabling arbitrary configurations into advanced lattice structures.
We will focus here on the trapping technique of an elongated textured microcavity. Through an etch-and-overgrowth step a three-dimensional confinement potential for photons and therefore polaritons is introduced. In devices based on a single GaInAs QW in a GaAs λ-cavity, optical and electrical injection of 0D-polaritons has been demonstrated. We will present resonant photocurrent measurements to probe density dependent energy shift of the ground state in such an electrical device.
These systems undergo a transition into weak coupling by further pumping. We will further present a textured microcavity platform that enables arbitrary lattice configurations with deep confinement while condensation in the ground state is possible.
