Abstract
The mechanism of second thresholds observed in several experiments is theoretically revealed by studying the BEC-BCS-laser crossover in exciton-polariton systems. We found that there are two different types for the second thresholds; one is a crossover within quasi-equilibrium phases and the other is into non-equilibrium (lasing). In both cases, the light-induced band renormalization causes gaps in the conduction and valence bands, which indicates the exsistence of bound electron-hole pairs in contrast to earlier expectations. We also show that these two types can be distinguished by the gain spectra.
