Observation of exciton-polariton ultrafast dynamic Stark effect

We demonstrate ultrafast phase control of exciton-polaritons in a GaAs/AlGaAs strongly coupled microcavity exploiting the ac Stark effect. Our approach yields meV-scale shifts without carrier generation, providing a powerful tool towards control of polariton BECs.
