Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
In the course of the project, basic components for a future exciton-polariton based photonic signal processing as waveguides, couplers and lattices have been designed, realized and optimized. Fundamental quantum mechanical effects as coherent coupling, Bloch oscillations and the excitation of topologically protected states have been demonstrated for exciton-polariton condensates, but also in equivalent fiber-based systems sharing the same physics. The fabrication technologies as well as the spectroscopic and numerical tools and the theoretical understanding developed within the project have been very successful in demonstrating fundamental propagating phenomena with excitonpolaritons and photons. Furthermore, the project results pave the way for the experimental realization of other fundamental effects such as higher-dimensional Bloch oscillations, nonlinear switching, soliton formation and strong interactions in exciton-polariton systems. Thus, an important step towards a future photonic application of exciton-polariton condensates for all-optical switching and signal processing has been made.
