Abstract

The semiclassical approach consisting of Boltzmann equations for the excited states and the ground state supplemented by a Master equation for the probability distribution of the condensate population is solved for picosecond pulsed microcavity polaritons. With the simple birth- and death-type Master equation for the condensate population that disregards the condensate phase, one gets results, which, compared to quasistationary solutions, are in better agreement with the experiments. First, the time-dependent solutions show the influence of the change to the coherent state already at pump powers close above the condensate threshold. Second, and even more important for the interpretation of corresponding pulsed experiments, the time-dependent solution give results for the second-order correlation function with seemingly larger correlations above threshold, although no polariton-polariton interaction in the ground state has been included.
