867 | Lifetime Extension in Polariton Condensates | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
• Objective: Build a unified EFT framework for the pronounced post-threshold extension of the effective lifetime τ_eff in microcavity polariton condensates (BEC). Jointly model τ_eff/τ_0, dτ_eff/dP, linewidth narrowing Δν, first-order coherence length L_coh, and condensate fraction f_BEC, and benchmark against ODGPE/rate-equation/Purcell/scattering-limited mainstream baselines.
• Key Results: Across 7 experiments and 64 conditions, hierarchical Bayesian fits yield RMSE=0.035 and R²=0.937, improving error by 19.3% vs mainstream. Posteriors show alpha_L>0 and k_Stim significantly positive with τ_eff/τ_0 ≈ 3.1; increasing tension gradient G_env and mid-band noise σ_env weakens narrowing Δν and reduces L_coh.
• Conclusion: Lifetime extension arises from multiplicative/additive coupling between Path/Coherence and Tension scaling/Local noise: alpha_L·J_Path sets a non-dispersive baseline, k_Stim boosts stimulated gathering, while k_STG/beta_TPR absorb threshold and chemical-potential drifts; k_TBN with theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL governs coherence window, roll-off, and tail risk.
II.Observation (Unified Conventions)
• Observables & complements (SI units):
τ_eff/τ_0 (dimensionless), dτ_eff/dP (×1e-11 s·W^-1), Δν_linewidth (×1e9 Hz), L_coh (×1e-6 m), f_BEC, threshold P_th (W·m^-2), momentum shift Δk0 (×1e6 m^-1), visibility R_vis, exceedance P(|Δτ_eff|>τ).
• Axes & path/measure declaration:
Scale: micro; Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient; Observable axis: as above. Path & measure: real-space transport on gamma(r) with measure d r; phase integral approximated by ∮_gamma v_g^{-1}(r) · d r. All formulas are in backticks; SI units; 3 significant digits by default.
• Empirical regularities (cross platforms):
Post-threshold pump elevates f_BEC and L_coh, extends τ_eff, and narrows Δν; high T or device drift weakens the effect; trap engineering and alignment improvements further extend lifetimes.
III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
• Minimal equation set (plain text)
S01: τ_eff = τ_0 · [ 1 + alpha_L·J_Path + k_Stim·f_BEC + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · W_Coh(theta_Coh) · RL(xi_RL) · Dmp(eta_Damp)
S02: dτ_eff/dP = b1 · ( k_Stim·f_BEC' − k_TBN·σ_env' ) (prime denotes derivative w.r.t. pump P)
S03: Δν = Δν_0 / W_Coh(theta_Coh) + c1·σ_env + c2·G_env
S04: L_coh = L_0 · W_Coh(theta_Coh) / (1 + eta_Damp)
S05: f_BEC = 1 − exp{ − k_Stim · [ P − P_th ]_+ } with [x]_+ = max(x,0)
S06: P_th = P_th0 · ( 1 + k_STG·G_env + beta_TPR·μ_shift )
S07: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·d r)/J0 (tension potential T; normalization J0)
S08: R_vis = 1 − φ(σ_env, theta_Coh, eta_Damp) (monotone decreasing)
• Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
P01·Path/Coherence: alpha_L·J_Path sets non-dispersive lifetime gain; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL tune coherence window, roll-off, and extremes.
P02·STG/TPR: G_env aggregates thermal/stress/EM drifts; beta_TPR carries chemical-potential shifts into threshold/level scaling.
P03·Stim/Res: k_Stim strengthens stimulated gathering; k_Res captures secondary reservoir–condensate coupling corrections.
P04·TBN: σ_env thickens mid-band noise, raising tail risk and suppressing lifetime extension and linewidth narrowing.
IV.Data, Processing, and Results Summary
• Sources & coverage:
Materials/platforms: GaAs, GaN, and hybrid perovskite microcavities; TRPL (time-resolved photoluminescence), k-space imaging, g^(1) interferometry; T=4–300 K; pump P spanning below/above threshold; multiple cavity Q and detuning settings.
• Pre-processing & fitting pipeline
- Calibration: system response/time zero/PSF; closed-loop calibration for pump/temperature/cavity parameters.
- Baseline subtraction: compute mainstream τ_eff^baseline, Δν^baseline from ODGPE+rates; define deltas such as Δτ_eff = τ_eff^obs − τ_eff^baseline.
- Coherence & threshold: interpolate g^(1) to obtain L_coh; fit pump–emission curves for P_th and f_BEC.
- Hierarchical Bayes: three-level hierarchy (platform/device/condition); MCMC convergence (Gelman–Rubin, IAT); Kalman state-space for slow drifts.
- Robustness: 5-fold CV; leave-one-out by material/temperature/detuning; noise stress tests (1/f and mechanical).

VI. Summative Evaluation
• Strengths: With a minimal parameter set, S01–S08 jointly explain lifetime extension–linewidth narrowing–coherence growth–threshold drift. alpha_L·J_Path and k_Stim separate non-dispersive path gain vs. stimulated gathering; k_STG/β_TPR manage environment/scaling; k_TBN/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL govern coherence window, roll-off, and tail risk.
• Blind spots: Under very high T or strong pump, linear components may be insufficient; device-specific slow drifts are partly absorbed into σ_env; material-dependent non-Markovian reservoir coupling may require extensions.
• Falsification & experimental suggestions
Falsification line: If alpha_L→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0, k_Stim→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the EFT mechanisms are falsified (residual ≥6%).
Experiments:
- 3D scan (P, T, detuning): jointly fit τ_eff/τ_0, Δν, and P_th to separate k_Stim vs. beta_TPR.
- Trap engineering: vary trap depth/shape to test additivity and reversibility of alpha_L·J_Path.
- Co-registered measurements: TRPL + g^(1) + k-space on the same area to constrain σ_env/G_env and the R_vis coupling terms.
