Conventional semiconductor laser emission relies on stimulated emission of photons1, 2, which sets stringent requirements on the minimum amount of energy necessary for its operation3, 4. In comparison, exciton–polaritons in strongly coupled quantum well microcavities5 can undergo stimulated scatteri...
