title: Estimating the conditions for polariton condensation in organic thin-film microcavities.
abstract: We examine the possibility of observing Bose condensation of a confined two-dimensional polariton gas in an organic quantum well. We deduce a suitable parameterization of a model polynomial Hamiltonian based upon the cavity geometry, the biexciton binding energy, and similar spectroscopic and structural data. By converting the sum-over-states to a semiclassical integration over D-dimensional phase space, we arrive at a principle of correspondence between ideal and non-ideal Bose gases that share a common critical exponent. Using our results, we can calculate the properties for a model cavity containing an anthracene thin film.
