(a,b) Time evolution of the polariton mean-field condensate density at two arbitrary positions in the strip, with a spatially varying effective gain term \(\gamma _{\textrm{eff}} \rightarrow \gamma _{\textrm{eff}}\left( 1-a\cos (kx)\right) \). The solid green line has \(a=0\), the dashed red line has \(a = 0.5\), and the dotted black line has \(a= 1.0\). (c) Steady-state density of the polariton condensate mean-field for the \(a=1\) case. (d) The two-point correlator given by Eq. (6).
