Abstract

We study stability and switching dynamics of topological dislocations forming in a nonequilibrium polariton condensate sustained by an incoherent ring-shaped optical pump. In particular, we report on an elegant method for creation of vortices with predefined angular momenta by means of a purely incoherent (off-resonant) elliptically-shaped control beam. The control beam breaks the radiale symmetry of the system and induces chirality required for a topological charge transfer with a predefined sign. Numerical analysis encloses the optimal parameters for an effective switching between states with opposite orbital angular momenta.
