Phase diagrams for CdTe microcavity polaritons for various photon lifetimes τ and detunings ∆. On the plots "N", "B" and "C" stand for "Normal phase", "Bistability" and "Condensate" respectively. Phase boundaries are dashed in the regions where the fitting procedure and the analytical approximation (44) are no more reliable (˜ n is outside the region [0.01; 1]).

Bose-condensation in a system of 2D quasiparticles is considered in the scope of a microscopic model. Mean-field dynamical equations are derived with the help of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism and a simple model is proposed which allows to describe key features of condensate formation in systems with various quasiparticle decay rates. By analysing...
