Abstract
We review various aspects of the behaviour of semiconductor microcavit ies, focusing on the important role that polaritons play in determinin g their optical properties. The review covers angular dependent measur ements of cavity polariton dispersions. the effects of motional narrow ing on the inhomogeneous line widths, and the possibilities for observ ing consequences of Bose-Einstein statistics in microcavities.
