Abstract:
The kinetics of a field on a quantum well in the active region of a planar microcavity with strong exciton–
photon coupling has been investigated under the conditions of resonance pulse excitation by a small degree
of circular polarization. It has been shown that the system of polaritons at the early stage of the development
of instability induced by polariton–polariton interaction tends to transit to a circularly polarized state, but
does not reach $100$% circular polarization and returns to a polarized state whose polarization is close to the
pump polarization. It has been shown that the observed effects are caused by the excitation of an unpolarized
reservoir of excitons in quantum wells, which leads to fast relaxation of the difference between the effective
resonance frequencies of excitons with different circular polarizations.
