Abstract

Recently, an innovative idea of introducing an electron gas into such structures theoretically solved the problem of the relaxation bottleneck. Electron-polariton scattering was proposed as an efficient process that can drive polaritons from the bottleneck region to the ground state, achieving Bose amplification of the optical emission. This paper presents the first experimental evidence for the assistance of electron-polariton scattering in breaking the bottleneck and opening the way towards condensation in excitonic systems.
