[Interactions entre polaritons dans des microcavités semiconductrices]
Dans cet article de synthèse, nous nous efforcerons de présenter les résultats qui ont été obtenus en matière d'interactions entre polaritons. Nous décrirons les échantillons, les systèmes expérimentaux et certains résultats importants. Nous donnerons aussi quelques éclaircissements quant à la description théorique de ces résultats. Un des principaux sujets qui seront abordés ici est l'observation de la résonance de Feshbach pour les polaritons et son interprétation à travers le couplage de deux polaritons bas vers un biexciton.
In this review, we will try to summarize the results that we have obtained on the measurement of polariton interactions. We will describe here the samples, the experimental systems and some of the important results. We will also give a few highlights on the theoretical description of these results. One of the main topics of this review will be the observation of the Feshbach resonance for polaritons, and its interpretation through the coupling of two lower polaritons into a biexciton.
