Spin selective filtering of polariton condensate flow by Gao, T., Antón, C., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Martín, M. D., Hatzopoulos, Z., Viña, L., Eldridge, P. S., Savvidis, P. G.

“…Spin-selective spatial filtering of propagating polariton condensates, using a controllable spin-dependent gating barrier, in a one-dimensional semiconductor microcavity ridge waveguide is reported. A nonresonant laser beam provides the source of propagating polaritons, while a second circularly polarized weak beam imprints a spin dependent potential barrier, which gates the polariton flow and generates polariton spin currents. …”
