✦ Synopsis
Stimulated polariton scattering in semiconductor microcavities is reported. The phenomena arise from the bosonic character of the coupled exciton±photon modes of the system. The ability to manipulate and control the polariton dispersions in microcavities is shown to be a key factor underlying the new observations. The potential of such phenomena to form the basis of a new type of coherent light source (ªpolaritonº lasers) and highly efficient optical parametric oscillators is discussed.

Polariton-polariton scattering is studied in a III-V microcavity (MC) by cw polarized photoluminescence techniques using resonant excitation into the lower polariton (LP) branch. Such excitation conditions allow the parametric process leading to the creation of macroscopic coherent populations of th
