Microcavity quantum-dot systems for non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2010-09-24 v1

Abstract

We review the practical conditions required to achieve a non-equilibrium BEC driven by quantum dynamics in a system comprising a microcavity field mode and a distribution of localised two-level systems driven to a step-like population inversion profile. A candidate system based on eight 3.8nm layers of In(0.23)Ga(0.77)As in GaAs shows promising characteristics with regard to the total dipole strength which can be coupled to the field mode.
