Polariton condensation in photonic crystals with high molecular orientation
We study Frenkel exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensation in a
two-dimensional defect-free triangular photonic crystal with an organic
semiconductor active medium containing bound excitons with dipole moments
oriented perpendicular to the layers. We find photonic Bloch modes of the
structure and consider their strong coupling regime with the excitonic
component. Using the Gross- Pitaevskii equation for exciton polaritons and the
Boltzmann equation for the external exciton reservoir, we demonstrate the
formation of condensate at the points in reciprocal space where photon group
velocity equals zero. Further, we demonstrate condensation at non-zero momentum
states for TM-polarized photons in the case of a system with incoherent
pumping, and show that the condensation threshold varies for different points
in the reciprocal space, controlled by detuning.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
