Microcavities, 2nd Edition, is a physics book examining optical confinement in semiconductor, metal, and dielectric structures. It establishes the theoretical background required to understand coupled light-matter systems and reviews experimental progress across the field.
Coverage spans classical to quantum optics, extending from a Boltzmann gas to a superfluid. The text explains how strong exciton-light coupling produces exciton-polaritons as superposition light-matter quasiparticles, leading to phenomena such as polariton Bose-Einstein condensation, polariton lasing, and superfluidity.
The volume also addresses laboratory efforts worldwide to develop polariton devices that harness bosonic stimulation effects at room temperature.
