We report the experimental observation of the exciton–photon strong coupling regime in a GaN microcavity. The structure has been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a Si(111) substrate. The upper mirror is a SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 dielectric mirror and the silicon substrate acts as the bottom one. Angle resolved reflectivity and photoluminescence...

The coherent emission of exciton polaritons was proposed as a means of lowering the lasing threshold because it does not require the dissociation of excitons to obtain an electron-hole plasma, as in a classical semiconductor laser based on population inversion. In this work we propose a method to prove clearly the polaritonic nature of lasing...

The lasing operation of a ZnO planar microcavity under optical pumping is demonstrated from T=80 K to 300 K. At the laser threshold, the cavity switches from the strong coupling to the weak coupling regime. A gain-related transition, which appears while still observing polariton branches and, thus, with stable excitons, is observed below 240K....

We present experimental observation of the strong light-matter coupling regime in ZnO bulk microcavities grown on silicon. Angle resolved reflectivity measurements, corroborated by transfer-matrix simulations, show that Rabi splittings in the order of 70 meV are achieved even for low finesse cavities. The impact of the large excitonic...

In order to achieve polariton lasing at room temperature, a new fabrication methodology for planar microcavities is proposed: a ZnO-based microcavity in which the active region is epitaxially grown on an AlGaN/AlN/Si substrate and in which two dielectric mirrors are used. This approach allows us to simultaneously obtain a high-quality active...

Semiconductor-based microcavities appear as a prolific system for studying light-matter interaction between a spatially-confined photonic mode and an excitonic resonance. The quasiparticles arising from this coupling (microcavity-polaritons) have enabled in the last years the observation of new lasing regimes as well as polariton Bose-Einstein...
