Phys. Rev. B 77, 115336 (2008) [6 pages]Self-organization of multiple polariton-polariton scattering in semiconductor microcavitiesReceived 11 July 2007; revised 15 February 2008; published 19 March 2008 Sharp transformations of polariton-polariton scattering patterns in a semiconductor microcavity with an increase in pump intensity are observed. These transformations are manifestations of nonequilibrium first-order phase transitions in a strongly driven multimode Bose system. The effect arises from the interplay between the bistability of the pumped polariton mode and the parametric instability in the nonlinear polariton system. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
