ABSTRACT
Exciton-polaritons, hybrid quasiparticles from the strong coupling of excitons and cavity photons in semiconductor microcavities, offer a platform for exploring quantum coherence and nonlinear optical properties. The unique polariton parametric scattering (PPS) laser is of interest for its potential in quantum technologies and nonlinear devices. However, direct resonant excitation of polaritons in strong-coupling microcavities is challenging. This study proposes an innovative two-photon absorption (TPA) pump mechanism to address this. We observe TPA-driven PPS lasing in a strongly coupled microcavity at room temperature. High K-value exciton injections promote coherent stimulated emission of polariton scattering through intermode channels. Angle-resolved spectra confirm a TPA process, showing evolution from pump-state to signal-state. Hanbury Brown-Twiss measurement of second-order correlation g2(τ) of signal state indicates a phase transition from a classical thermal state to a quantum coherent state. Theoretical modeling provides insights into the physical mechanisms of PPS. Our work advances nonlinear phenomena exploration in strongly coupled light-matter systems, contributing to quantum polaritonics and nonlinear optics.
