Polariton condensation in the yellow part of visible spectrum from a planar organic semiconductor microcavity containing molecular dye bromine‐substituted boron‐dipyrromethene is observed. This study provides experimental fingerprint polariton under nonresonant optical excitation, including nonlinear dependence emission intensity and wavelength blueshift with increasing excitation density, single pulse dispersion imaging, real space interferometry. The latter two allow to visualize collapse...
Artificial lattices of coherently coupled macroscopic states are at the heart applications ranging from solving hard combinatorial optimisation problems to simulating complex many-body physical systems. The size and complexity scales with extent coherence across lattice. Although fundamental limit spatial depends on nature couplings lattice parameters, it is usually engineering constrains that define system. Here, we engineer polariton condensate active control arrangement density result in...
We demonstrate spontaneous formation of a nonlinear vortex cluster state in microcavity exciton-polariton condensate with time-periodic sign flipping its topological charges at the GHz scale. When optically pumped ring-shaped nonresonant laser, trapped experiences intricate high-order mode competition and fractures into two distinct trap levels. The resulting interference leads to robust density beatings periodic appearance orderly arranged phase singularities. Our work opens new...
Extremely high coherence time and, thus, ultranarrow spectral linewidths make it possible to resolve magnetically induced \textmu{}eV fine-energy shifts in trapped exciton-polariton condensates. The continuous control over the polariton confinement enable authors here explore two operation regimes: (1) full parametric screening of Zeeman splitting and (2) inversion regime. transition from one range other occurs by adjusting size optical trap, which controls strength polariton-polariton...
Planar metamaterials represent a powerful paradigm of optical engineering, which enables one to control the flow light across structured material interfaces in absence high-order diffraction modes.

The effect has no direct analogue natural materials may find...
Organic semiconductors are a promising platform for ambient polaritonics. Several applications, such as polariton routers, and many-body condensed matter phenomena currently hindered due to the ultra-short lifetimes in organics. Here, we employ single-shot dispersion imaging technique, using 4 ns long non-resonant excitation pulses, study lasing λ/2 planar organic microcavity filled with BODIPY-Br dye molecules. At power threshold density of 1.5 MW/cm2, observe transition quasi-steady state,...

Circulating flows that correspond vortices large topological charge, termed giant vortices, are notoriously difficult realise even when externally imprinted, they unstable, breaking into many single charge. In spite theoretical proposals on formation stabilisation in ultra-cold atomic Bose-Einstein condensates other superfluid systems, their...
