Polariton condensate coherence in planar microcavities in a magnetic field

In planar GaAs microcavities in a magnetic field up to 5 T perpendicular to the structure growth plane, under conditions of resonant pulsed pumping to a point close to the inflection point of the lower dispersion curve, Zeeman splitting of the spin sublevels of the polariton condensate is observed. This is accompanied by a significant change in the degree of circular polarization and the second-order correlator g2(0). It is found that the correlator is different for the spin sublevels of the polariton condensate, split in a magnetic field. In particular, correlator measurements indicate different condensation thresholds for the spin sublevels. The correlator values initially differing in terms of the absence of a field increase, reach a maximum, and then decrease and become equal for different polarizations in a field of 5 T.
