A study of the time evolution of the density, temperature and chemical potential of the exciton gas shows that the so called quantum saturation effect that prevents Bose-Einstein condensation of the ortho-exciton gas originates from an unfavorable ratio between the cooling and recombination rates. Oscillations observed in the temporal decay of the ortho-excitonic luminescence intensity are discussed in terms of polaritonic beating. We present the semiclassical description of polaritonic oscillations in linear and non-linear optical processes.14 pages, 12 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsOther Condensed Mattertext
