利用极化激元的极化多稳定性，我们证明了极化信号可以在半导体微腔平面内沿沿着受控通道或“神经元”传导。此外，由于极化激元与相反自旋的相互作用，可以实现在极化自由度上操作的二进制逻辑门。多个门可以集成在一起以形成包含在单个半导体微腔中的光路。
By exploiting the polarization multistability of polaritons, we show that polarized signals can be conducted in the plane of a semiconductor microcavity along controlled channels or "neurons." Furthermore, because of the interaction of polaritons with opposite spins it is possible to realize binary logic gates operating on the polarization degree of freedom. Multiple gates can be integrated together to form an optical circuit contained in a single semiconductor microcavity.
