In the past decade, a two-dimensional matter-light system called the microcavity exciton-
polariton has emerged as a new promising candidate of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) …

Exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities have become a model system for the
studies of dynamical Bose–Einstein condensation, macroscopic coherence, many-body …

We have demonstrated efficient production of triggered single photons by coupling a single
semiconductor quantum dot to a three-dimensionally confined optical mode in a micropost …

Interactions between a single emitter and cavity provide the archetypical system for
fundamental quantum electrodynamics. Here we show that a single molecule of Atto647 …

Resonance interaction between a molecular transition and a confined electromagnetic field
can lead to weak or strong light-matter coupling. Considering the substantial exciton …

The authors review the nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor quantum wells that are
grown inside high-Q Bragg-mirror microcavities. Light-matter coupling in this system is …

Polariton lasing is demonstrated on the zero-dimensional states of single GaAs/GaAlAs
micropillar cavities. Under nonresonant excitation, the measured polariton ground-state …

Spontaneous emission of quantum dot systems in laterally structured microcavities that
exhibit photon confinement in all three directions has been studied by time-resolved …

We demonstrate three-dimensional spatial confinement of exciton-polaritons in a
semiconductor microcavity. Polaritons are confined within a micron-sized region of slightly …

Recent theoretical and experimental progress on nanolasers is reviewed with a focus on the
emission properties of devices operating with a few or even an individual semiconductor …
