Here we demonstrate electrically controlled in-plane interaction between optically reconfigurable spatially separated lasing states, operating at room temperature in the weak light-matter coupling regime. We show spatially extended coherent lasing state or "supermode" with wide-range micro-scale control of near-field, far-field and on-chip phase-locking tuning functionality.

In this work, we study the application of the FNO architecture to approximate solutions to the GPE. We are interested in this specific variant of Neural Operator as its mathematical formulation relates very closely to the SplitStep Fourier Method (SSFM), which is the numerical method used to solve the GPE in this instance.

Extremely high coherence time and, thus, ultra-narrow spectral linewidths make it possible to resolve magnetically induced µeV fine-energy shifts in trapped exciton-polariton condensates. The continuous control over the polariton confinement enabled authors to explore two operation regimes: (1) the full parametric screening of the Zeeman splitting and (2) the Zeeman inversion regime. The transition from one range to the other occurs by adjusting the size of the optical trap, which controls the strength of the polariton-polariton and polariton-exciton reservoir interactions.

Here, we show that in lattices of lossy resonators, the addition of external optical drives with a controlled phase enlarges the possibilities of manipulating interference effects and allows for the design of novel types of localized modes. Using a honeycomb lattice of coupled micropillars resonantly driven with several laser spots at energies within its photonic bands, we demonstrate the localization of light in at-will geometries down to a single site.

Here, we report non-equilibrium Bose–Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons and low threshold, dual-wavelength polariton lasing in vertically coupled, double planar microcavities. Moreover, we find that the presence of the non-resonantly driven condensate triggers interbranch exciton-polariton transfer in the form of energy-degenerate parametric scattering.

Here, we report for a first time, all three lasing regimes and provide evidence for a three-threshold behavior in the emission from a photonic trap in a Se/Te-based planar microcavity comprising a single quantum well.
