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...

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...

We demonstrate polariton lasing in a bulk ZnO planar microcavity under non-resonant optical pumping at a small negative detuning (delta~-1/6 the 130 meV vacuum Rabi splitting) and a temperature of 120 K. The strong coupling regime is maintained at lasing threshold since the coherent nonlinear emission from the lower polariton branch (LPB)...

Polariton relaxation mechanisms are analyzed experimentally and theoretically in a ZnO-based polariton laser. A minimum lasing threshold is obtained when the energy difference between the exciton reservoir and the bottom of the lower polariton branch is resonant with the LO phonon energy. Tuning off this resonance increases the threshold, and...

We report exciton-polariton condensation in a new family of fully hybrid ZnO based microcavity demonstrating the best-quality ZnO material available (a bulk substrate), a large quality factor (~4000) and large Rabi splittings (~240 meV). Condensation is achieved between 4 and 300 K and for excitonic fractions ranging between 17% and 96 %, which...

ZnO is a wide bandgap semiconductor with strong excitonic properties, in particular a large oscillator strength and a large exciton binding energy. It therefore raises a strong interest for the demonstration of polariton lasing up to room temperature with microcavities in the strong exciton-photon coupling regime. The strong coupling regime has...

ZnO is a wide bandgap semiconductor with strong excitonic properties, in particular a large oscillator strength and a large exciton binding energy.

A ZnO planar optical microcavity displaying room-temperature polariton lasing has been fabricated. The cavity combines optimum crystalline quality, as given by the ZnO bulk single-crystal substrate employed as active region, and optimum photonic quality, as obtained by the use of two dielectric SiO2/HfO2 Bragg mirrors. A maximum cavity quality...
