Abstract
We present a quantitative microscopic analysis of the formation of exciton-polaritons, the composite particles possessing light and material components, polariton-polariton interactions, and resonant pumping dynamics in cylindrical semiconductor micropillars. We obtain that, due to the exciton-exciton interaction, the polaritonic states’ populations become redistributed among pumped and pristine states. We discuss how the redistribution effect can be used in devices generating photons with nonzero orbital angular momenta.
