The nonlinear interaction of exciton polariton vortices is a subject of remarkable interest among the rich phenomenology of microcavity exciton polaritons. We generate exciton polariton vortices using light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) and demonstrate a method for monitoring the time dynamics of the exciton polariton vortex decay. Here the sample emission runs through a custom optical transformation, which translates the helical phase of OAM modes into a linear gradient and in principle enables a simultaneuos detection of all OAM modes. Finally the OAM sorted signal is resolved in time using a streak camera, granting insight into the decay dynamics of exciton polariton vortices.
