Накратко на български

Екситон-поляритоните в полупроводникови кристали изследват физиката на „течната светлина“, за да се създадат устройства като светлинни диоди и лазери. Тези разработки помагат за създаването на ново поколение оптоелектронни компоненти, базирани на взаимодействието между светлината и материята.

Exciton-polaritons in microcavities: physics and devices

The Initial training network CLERMONT4 continued the series of Research-training networks in Polaritonics, started in 1999 by the project "CLERMONT" and continued in 2003 with "CLERMONT2". These projects aimed at developing a new generation of opto-electronic devices based on Bose-Einstein condensation and coherent spin properties of light-matter quaiparticles: exciton-polaritons. In simple words, the project studied the physics of liquid light in semiconductor crystals.Several outstanding results of major importance have been reported by the members of the consortium CLERMONT4. In particular, remarkable progress has been achieved in the experimental realisation of light emitting polariton diodes, spin switches and optical parametric oscillators. Good progress has also been made towards the producing electrically pumped polariton lasers, while the colleagues from Wurzburg and Michigan were the first to report on experimental realization of these devices (publications in Nature and Physical Review Letters, 2013). The network has organised 12 events, including the kick-off meeting, the international conferences on Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems in Madrid and Paris, the Nanophotonics Schools in Maratea and Tsakhadzor, the international conferences on the Physics of Light-Matter coupling in Cuernavaca and Herssonisos, the joint CLERMONT4-Spinoptronics meetings in Crete and Madrid, the Nanophotonics and Photovoltaics School in Maratea (September 2011, August 2013), the joint meeting of CLERMONT4 and INDEX projects in Cambridge (August 2013). These meetings emphasized the global scale and unprecedented importance of CLERMONT projects: over 50 PhD students have been trained in Europe in 2000-2013, many of them giving considerable contributions to the development of Polaritonics and some of them occupying Professor positions already.

Цел на проекта

The discovery of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of exciton-polaritons in 2006 and the demonstration of room-temperature polariton lasing in 2007 have opened the way to realisation of a new generation of optoelectronic devices referred to as polariton devices. The research on exciton-polaritons and polaritonics allows the quantum effects of superfluidity, entanglement, squeezing of light to be brought to the everyday life and used in new light sources, optical switches, modulators and memory elements. The fundamental principles of polariton physics have been established by our previous networks CLERMONT" and "CLERMONT2" within the 5th and 6th FP. The breakthrough achieved in 2006-2007 brings the polaritonics on a new level and makes its rapid development in Europe an overall strategic priority. Our present consortium composed by 10 European academic teams and supported by 6 leading industrial groups has a critical mass in polariton physics and technology. We intend to form a new generation of solid state physicists able to maintain the European leadership in this rapidly developing interdisciplinary research field. Four of the present partners took part in the discovery of the BEC of polaritons and polariton lasing, six others have given key contributions into polaritonics over the last decade. The Coordinator of the project holds the Marie Curie Chair of Excellence "Polariton Devices" at the university of Rome. We propose 16 full term PhD and 3 postdoc projects to be realized at two network nodes each with a compulsary training in industry. We shall organize the international conference on Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems in 2009, 3 international conferences on Physics of Light-Matter Coupling in Nanostructures and 2 Summer Schools on Nanophotonics. The project will form a world-leading international team of researchers capable to implement the ideas of polaritonics in a new generation of optoelectronic devices."
