Polariton Electric-Field Sensor [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 We experimentally demonstrate a dipolar polariton based electric field sensor. We tune and optimize the sensitivity of the sensor by varying the dipole moment of polaritons. We show polariton interactions play an important role in determining the conditions for optimal electric field sensing, and achieve a sensitivity of 0.12 V-m$^{-1}$-Hz$^{-0.5 ...
