We report the steady state output polarization characteristics of GaN-based microcavity polariton lasers operated with electrical injection at room temperature. The output is unpolarized below the nonlinear threshold injection current and is linearly polarized above it with a maximum degree of polarization of ~22%. The results have been analyzed theoretically, and the calculated results are in agreement with the measured data. We have also measured the polarization-resolved output light current characteristics, wherein a distinct lowering of the non-linear threshold is observed in one device. This is interpreted in terms of spatially inhomogeneous lifting of degeneracy and polarization splitting in the microcavity.

Abstract
We report the steady state output polarization characteristics of GaN-based microcavity polariton lasers operated with electrical injection at room temperature. The output is unpolarized below the nonlinear threshold injection current and is linearly polarized above it with a maximum degree of polarization of ~22%. The results have been analyzed theoretically, and the calculated results are in agreement with the measured data. We have also measured the polarization-resolved output light current characteristics, wherein a distinct lowering of the non-linear threshold is observed in one device. This is interpreted in terms of spatially inhomogeneous lifting of degeneracy and polarization splitting in the microcavity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
