摘要
The authors report room temperature polariton lasing at lambda similar to 345 nm in a hybrid AlInN/AlGaN multiple quantum well microcavity (MQW-MC) containing a GaN/AlGaN MQW active region, i.e., the achievement under nonresonant optical excitation of coherent light emission of a macroscopic population of polaritons occupying the lowest energy state of the lower polariton branch. This was made possible by taking advantage of the efficient relaxation of polaritons in a MQW-MC exhibiting a large vacuum Rabi splitting Omega(VRS)=56 meV. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
