Abstract

The effects of mode coupling on the static and dynamic responses of a nonlinear interferometer that is pumped by two beams are investigated. Novel forms of bistable operation are identified along with self-pulsing.

Dynamics of coherent polaritons in double-well systems

Davide Sarchi, Iacopo Carusotto, Michiel Wouters +1 more

We investigate the physics of coherent polaritons in a double-well configuration under a resonant pumping. For a continuous wave pump, bistability and self-pulsing regimes are identified as a function of the pump energy and intensity. The response to an additional probe pulse is characterized in the different cases and related to the Bogoliubov modes around the stationary state. Under a pulsed pump, a crossover from Josephson-like oscillations to self-trapping is predicted for increasing pump intensity. The accurateness of the effective two-mode model is assessed by comparing its predictions to a full solution of the non-equilibrium Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
