Query: Polariton-based optical switch   Based on the studies of propagation of an exciton-polariton condensate in a
patterned optical microcavity with an embedded graphene layer, we propose a
design of a Y-shaped electrically-controlled optical switch. The polaritons are
driven by a time-independent force due to the microcavity wedge shape and by a
time-dependent drag force owing to the interaction of excitons in graphene and
the electric current running in a neighboring quantum well. It is demonstrated
that one can control the polariton flow direction by changing the direction of
the electric current. The simulations also show that an external electric field
normal to the microcavity plane can be utilized as an additional parameter that
controls the propagation of the signals in the switch. By considering the
transient dynamics of the polariton condensate, we estimate the response speed
of the switch. Finally, we propose a design of the polariton switch in a flat
microcavity based on the geometrically identical Y-shaped quantum well and
graphene pattern where the polariton flow is only induced by the drag force.
