- Additional information
- Polariton dynamics are usually studied in high quality cavities in semiconductor hetero structures (e.g. doi:10.1088/1361-6633/aa50e3). Here, we demonstrate polariton dynamics and surface polariton field enhanced Raman responses in micro-spherical ZnO. The approach offers a spherical paradigm for next generation polariton based optoelectronics and is accessible to all materials technologists as it does not require specialised facilities (extremely low temperatures or specialist fabrication laboratories) to study the properties of the 5th state of matter (Bose-Einstein condensates).
