Quantitative evaluation of light-matter interaction parameters in organic single-crystal microcavities
Abstract:
Investigation of physics on light-matter interaction and strong coupling formation in organic microcavities is important to characterize the device structure enabling efficient room-temperature polariton condensation. In this study, we evaluate quantitatively the light-matter interaction parameters for three types of organic single-crystal microcavities and discuss the effects of microcavity structures on the strong coupling formation. We found that improvement in cavity quality factor causes a reduction in the photon damping constant, which results in an increase in the Rabi splitting energy. Moreover, when we used a metal thin film as the cavity mirror, it was revealed that the exciton damping became 30 times stronger than that in a dielectric mirror cavity. These experimental findings are very intriguing to achieve low-threshold or electrically pumped organic polariton devices.

According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
