Frenkel-exciton-polaritons in organic microcavities

Abstract

We study organic microcavities in the strong coupling regime. The cavity exciton-polariton dispersion relations and quantum states are derived in using a microscopic theory. We consider the two cases of anisotropic organic crystals with one and two molecules per unit cell. In general, the cavity exciton-polaritons are a coherent superposition of both cavity mode polarizations and of both Davydov exciton branches. The obtained polarization mixing is in contrast to the case of typical inorganic semiconductor cavities in which no mixing between the TM and TE polarizations occurs. By applying the quasi-mode approximation, we derive the transmission, reflection, and absorption coefficients for high quality organic cavities.
