Optically erasing disorder in semiconductor microcavities using polariton-polariton interactions

Through resonant coherent optical excitation of upper branch polaritons in semiconductor microcavities, an effective screening of the disorder potential experienced by lower branch polaritons is predicted. The effect is due to polariton–polariton interactions, which generate bistability for the uppe...
