Cavity polaritons in an organic single-crystalline rubrene microcavity

Abstract

We fabricated a single-crystalline rubrene microcavity using a simple solution technique and observed cavity polaritons in the microcavity at room temperature (RT). Large Rabi splitting energies were obtained from dispersion of the cavity polaritons. Furthermore, photoluminescence from the cavity polaritons was observed at RT. The findings will be of importance for the application of cavity polaritons.

Strong light–matter interactions: a new direction within chemistry

“…In addition to organic molecules and inorganic structures in the solid state, some more exotic materials have shown hybridization with light. For example, different kinds of polymers,23,87,130–135 molecules in liquid phases,85,112,136–138 organic liquid crystals,57,139,140 organic crystals,44,141,142 quantum dots,42,143–145 nanocrystals in various geometries,124–126,146–156 nano-wires,157–161 nanographene,162 proteins,163–165 light-harvesting complexes,166 and photosynthetic bacteria have been hybridized with light 167,168. In the following sections, a review of accomplishments within the strong coupling regime is made.…”

Guest-responsive polaritons in a porous framework: chromophoric sponges in optical QED cavities

“…for anthracene and rubrene. 17,18 For further advancement of QED device applications, the reversibly loading and unloading of guest species would be of interest. The reversible loading and release of guest molecules (see Fig.…”

“…Note, that in previous cases the fabrication of microcavities from crystalline OSC materials with strong coupling required the fabrication of DBR mirrors. 17,18 Although DBR mirrors exhibit huge quality factors (Q factors), they carry certain disadvantages. First, a considerable effort in manufacturing is needed.…”

Monitoring polariton dynamics in the LHCII photosynthetic antenna in a microcavity by two-photon coincidence counting

“…The hybrid dressed photon-matter states, known as polaritons, are joint molecule/photon states, involving coherence between excitons and photons, induced by the strong molecule-photon interaction in microcavities. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The hybrid nature of polaritons could affect the dynamical pathways [7][8][9][10] as well as chemical reaction processes. [11][12][13][14][15] In this article, we focus on exciton dynamics in the double excitation manifold.…”
