We study the dynamics of the formation and decay of a condensate of microcavity polaritons. We investigate the relationship among the number of particles, the emission linewidth, and its degree of linear polarization, which serves as the order parameter. Tracking the condensate formation, we show that coherence is not determined only by occupation of the ground state, bringing new insights into the determining factors for Bose-Einstein condensation

Abstract
We study the dynamics of the formation and decay of a condensate of microcavity polaritons. We investigate the relationship among the number of particles, the emission linewidth, and its degree of linear polarization, which serves as the order parameter. Tracking the condensate formation, we show that coherence is not determined only by occupation of the ground state, bringing new insights into the determining factors for Bose-Einstein condensationFile in questo prodotto:
