Abstract
Condensate states of a two-dimensional exciton–polariton system have been considered under the conditions of direct resonant photoexcitation. It has been theoretically predicted that splitting of eigenmodes with orthogonal polarizations leads to the emergence of a new channel of parametric scattering. A polariton condensate spontaneously decays into a set of states in a finite region of the momentum space, thus leading to a strong inhomogeneity in the distributions of the intensity and polarization even in the case of a strictly constant amplitude and zero in-plane momentum of the external field. The new scattering mechanism makes possible self-oscillating and chaotic states of polariton systems.
