摘要
The paper deals with the spontaneous coherence building up between exciton-polaritons trapped in an array of deep potential wells in the presence of an incoherent pump. A theoretical approach based on a standard tight-binding mean-field approximation is used to reduce the continuous periodic problem to a discrete model. The typical dynamics of the nonlinear exciton-polariton system for the cases of spatially uniform and for localized pumps are discussed. Special attention is paid to the "staggered" coherent steady states with pi jumps in the phases between neighboring sites and to "uniform" states with a smooth phase distribution. It is shown that, apart from the states with a single frequency, mixed states with spectra with several harmonics can form in the system. The selection mechanism that controls the type of steady state growing from a weak noise is studied. It is found that in the case of localized pumps the decaying tails of the solutions play a crucial role in the dynamics of the polaritons. The applicability of the obtained theoretical results for a qualitative explanation of the complex phenomena observed in recent experiments is discussed.
