| Popis: | Polarization textures of light may reflect fundamental phenomena such as topological defects, and can be utilized in engineering light beams. Three main routes are applied during their creation: spontaneous appearance in phase transitions, steering by an excitation beam, or structural engineering of the medium. We present an approach that uses all three in a platform offering advantages that are not simultaneously provided in any previous system: advanced structural engineering, strong-coupling condensate with effective photonic interactions, as well as room temperature and sub-picosecond operation. We demonstrate domain wall polarization textures in a plasmonic lattice Bose-Einstein condensate, by combining the dipole structure of the lattice with a non-trivial condensate phase revealed by phase retrieval. These results open new prospects for fundamental studies of non-equilibrium condensation and sources of polarization-structured beams. Comment: 29 pages, 7 figures |
