Abstract For the observation of Bose–Einstein condensation, excitons in cuprous oxide are regarded as promising candidates due to their large binding energy and long lifetime. High particle densities may be achieved by entrapment in a stress induced potential. We consider a multicomponent gas of interacting para‐ and orthoexcitons in cuprous oxide confined in a three‐dimensional potential trap. Based on the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov theory, we calculate density profiles as well as decay luminescence spectra which exhibit signatures of the separation of the Bose‐condensed phases (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
