Abstract

We report the calculation of cavity exciton-polariton phase diagram including realistic structural disorder. With increasing density polaritons first undergo a quasiphase transition toward a Bose glass: the condensate is localized in at least one minimum of the disorder potential. A further increase of the density leads to a percolation process of the polariton fluid giving rise to a Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition toward superfluidity. The spatial representation of the condensate wave function as well as the spectrum of elementary excitations are obtained from the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for all the phases.
