Axion is a hypothetical neutral pseudoscalar particle postulated in quantum chromodynamics to solve the problem of preserving combined parity in quark-gluon interactions (a strong CP problem). It is assumed that the axion has a very small mass and interacts extremely weakly with other particles, which makes it an ideal candidate for the role of a dark matter particle (the non-baryonic component of the hidden mass in cosmology). In this paper, the possibility of laboratory generation of axions in a two-photon channel using a polariton Bose-Einstein condensate formed in a resonant photon trap as an active medium is investigated. Supporting calculations are presented. The results open up the possibility of obtaining axens in a ground-based optical laboratory.
