title: Polariton and spin dynamics in semiconductor microcavities under non-resonant excitation.
abstract: Semiconductor microcavities offer an ideal scenario to study strong radiation-matter interactions. In this paper we review the temporal dynamics of polaritons in II-VI and III-V based microcavities under non-resonant excitation conditions. We present evidence of final-state stimulated scattering and discuss the spin-dependent emission, which exhibits a remarkably rich behaviour.
