Abstract

We report the observation of polaritonic bistability in semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime. The origin of bistability is the polariton-polariton interaction, which gives rise to a Kerr-like nonlinearity. The experimental results are in good agreement with a simple model taking transverse effects into account.
