Abstract

In this paper we discuss a trapping method of quantum well excitons and polaritons. The trapping mechanism is based on the deformation of the band structure. Through drift experiments, first we demonstrate that both excitons and polariton react to the force of the trap and fill it up. In the case of excitons, this leads to a true equilibrium configuration, and thus the temperature of the gas can directly be measured.
