Abstract
Polaritons in microcavity structures can be thought of as photons dressed with an effective mass and a hard-core interaction. This allows them to act completely analogously to a gas of atoms and to undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. In the past five years, there has been an explosion of work on condensates of polaritons in microcavities, including Josephson junctions, vortices, and soliton-like motion. I will review work by other groups and also will present measurements from new structures which we have made with long polariton lifetime.
