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...

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...

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...
