Strong coupling between microcavity photons and quantum well excitons results in the formation of exciton polaritons. Spatial trapping of these quasi-particles in three dimensions allows for the observation of long-range coherence phenomena and could be exploited for new kind of coherent or non-classical light sources.
While electrical injection of quasi-2D-polaritons has been already archived, we report on electrically pumped formation of spatially confined polaritons. The trapping scheme is based on an elongated textured cavity which results in a three-dimensional confinement potential for the photonic part of the polaritons. An external bias can be used for fast manipulation of the exciton energy through the quantum confined stark effect with a simultaneous read out via resonant photocurrent measurements.
