Abstract
Population dynamics of exciton polaritons in a mesoscopic one-dimensional system is theoretically studied, in which the quantization of the polariton plays important roles. Then the polaritons are shown to occupy dominantly the specified quantum state above a critical pump rate, reflecting their bosonic nature. These can give rise to coherent light emission.Keywords
