Description
Summary:The main aim of the present thesis work is to study the fundamental features of the different relaxation process for polaritons, when the semiconductor micro-cavity is excited by a non-resonantlaser pump. Our numerical simulations of polariton relaxation, clearly demonstrate that, for the experimental situation, the electron-polariton relaxation mechanism is the most efficient, contrary to the recent published theoretical work and confirming the experimental results. In the present work, the polariton-polariton scattering is inefficient due to the low excitation densities.
