Temporal dark polariton solitons.

چکیده
We predict that strong coupling between waveguide photons and excitons of quantum well embedded into waveguide results in the formation of hybrid-dark and antidark light-matter solitons. Such temporal solitons exist due to interplay between repulsive excitonic nonlinearity and giant group-velocity dispersion arising in the vicinity of excitonic resonance. Such fully conservative states do not require external pumping to counteract losses and form continuous families parameterized by the power-dependent phase shift and velocity of their motion. Dark solitons are stable in the considerable part of their existence domain, while antidark solitons are always unstable. Both families exist outside the forbidden frequency gap of the linear system.

Dynamics of dark-soliton formation in a polariton quantum fluid
Polariton fluids have revealed huge potentialities in order to investigate the properties of bosonic fluids at the quantum scale. Among those properties, the opportunity to create dark as well as bright solitons has been demonstrated recently. In the present experiments, we image the formation dynamics of oblique dark solitons. They nucleate in the wake of an engineered attractive potential tha...
متن کاملKibble-Zurek Mechanism in Topologically Nontrivial Zigzag Chains of Polariton Micropillars.
We consider a zigzag chain of coupled micropillar cavities, taking into account the polarization of polariton states. We show that the TE-TM splitting of photonic cavity modes yields topologically protected polariton edge states. During the strongly nonadiabatic process of polariton condensation, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism leads to a random choice of polarization, equivalent to the dimerization...
متن کاملUltraslow bright and dark solitons in semiconductor quantum wells
We study the low-intensity light pulse propagation through an asymmetric double quantum well via Fanotype interference based on intersubband transitions. The propagation of the pulse across the quantum well is studied analytically and numerically with the coupled Maxwell-Schrödinger equations. We show the generation of ultraslow bright and dark optical solitons in this system. Whether the solit...
متن کاملDark Solitons in High Velocity Waveguide Polariton Fluids.
We study exciton-polariton nonlinear optical fluids in the high momentum waveguide regime for the first time. We demonstrate the formation of dark solitons with the expected dependence of width on fluid density for both main classes of soliton-forming fluid defects. The results are well described by numerical modeling of the fluid propagation. We deduce a continuous wave nonlinearity more than ...
متن کاملUltra-low-power hybrid light–matter solitons
New functionalities in nonlinear optics will require systems with giant optical nonlinearity as well as compatibility with photonic circuit fabrication techniques. Here we introduce a platform based on strong light-matter coupling between waveguide photons and quantum-well excitons. On a sub-millimetre length scale we generate picosecond bright temporal solitons at a pulse energy of only 0.5 pJ...
