  Dynamics of exciton-polariton multistability is theoretically investigated.
Phase portraits are used as a tool to enlighten the microscopic phenomena which
influence spin multistability of a confined polariton field as well as
ultrafast reversible spin switching. The formation of a non-radiative
reservoir, due to polariton pairing into biexcitons is found to play the lead
role in the previously reported spin switching experiments. Ways to tailor this
reservoir formation are discussed in order to obtain optimal spin switching
reliability.
