Vortices are elementary excitations in exciton polariton condensates that consist of a low-density core and a phase rotation of a multiple of 2π around it. In our experiment a light beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) is utilized to excite exciton polariton vortices in a GaAs microcavity at cryogenic temperatures. Thereby the topological charge of the vortex directly corresponds to the quantized OAM of the incident light beam. In a sophisticated approach, the sample signal is sorted by the vortex topological charge and resolved in time without the need of a phase reference. Thus the dynamics of vortices with different topological charges are investigated.
