Polariton polarization can be described in terms of a pseudospin which can be oriented along the x,y, or z axis, similarly to electron and hole spin. Unlike electrons and holes where time-reversal symmetry requires that the spin-orbit interaction be odd in the momentum, the analog of the spin-orbit...
