Exciton-polariton based WS_(2)polarization modulator controlled by optical Stark beam

The recent era of fast optical manipulation and optical devices owe a lot to exciton-polaritons being lighter in mass,faster in speed and stronger in nonlinearity due to hybrid light-matter characteristics.The room temperature existence of polaritons in two dimensional materials opens up new avenues to the design and analysis of all optical devices and has gained the researchers attention.Here,spin-selective optical Stark effect is introduced to form a waveguide effect in uniform community of polaritons,and is used to realize polarization modulation of polaritons.The proposed device basically takes advantage of the spin-sensitive properties of optical Stark effect of polaritons inside the WS_(2)microcavity so as to guide different modes and modulate polarization of polaritons.It is shown that polaritonic wavepacket of different mode profiles can be generated by changing intensity of the optical Stark beam and the polarization of polaritons can be controlled and changed periodically along the formed waveguide by introduction birefringence that is sensitive to polarization degree of the optical Stark beam.

Exciton-polariton in WS_2 microcavity in the presence of the optical Stark effect

Exciton-polaritons offer an exceptional platform for future photoelectronic and quantum information applications. The influence of the optical Stark effect on exciton-polaritons in a microcavity embodied with a monolayer WS2 is studied. A polarization dependent model is proposed to study the change of strongly coupled excitons and photons in a WS2 microcavity. It is revealed through both steady and dynamical states analysis that an outside optical Stark pulse can effectively vary the polariton characteristics, such as dispersion, exciton, and photon fractions, through blue shifting of excitonic resonance. Thus, the analysis and control of exciton-polaritons in a WS2 microcavity via a spin-selective trigger could be achievable.
