Our experimental results show that in a thickness gradient microcavity, polariton propagation is mainly ballistic and does not depend on the microcavity gradient. Above threshold, we compare the experimental results to a theoretical model [1] to understand the peculiar k-space images of the polariton condensate. Our results indicate that these images are due to the repulsion of the condensate from the center of excitation by the exciton reservoir created by a small excitation spot (2~3 µm). %G English %Z ITN Clermont4Labex Ganex %L hal-01132062 %U https://hal.science/hal-01132062 %~ UNICE %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-COTEDAZUR %~ CRHEA %~ UM-2015-2021
