Abstract
We present an overview of the advances in the physics of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities, starting from their first discovery in 1992. After summarizing the research during the early years, when the basic optical properties were investigated, we describe the important results related to the phenomenon of parametric polariton scattering, highlighting its link to non-classical polariton physics. We conclude with a perspective view of the future research in the domain, focusing on the exciting developments in the direction of polariton quantum collective phenomena and quantum nanodevices
