Key Details

A microcavity with CdSe nanoplatelets in hexane solution was fabricated using distributed Bragg reflectors

Strong exciton-photon coupling occurred at room temperature, evidenced by anticrossing in reflectance spectra

Efficient relaxation to the lower polariton branch was enabled by interactions with longitudinal optical phonons

A model considering coupling to excitons delocalized over randomly oriented nanoplatelets explained the results

Harnessing light-matter interactions in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals

This paper reports on the fabrication of a microcavity containing concentrated colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets dispersed in hexane solution. At room temperature, strong coupling between photons and excitons in the nanoplatelets leads to the formation of hybrid light-matter quasiparticles called polaritons. Emission from the lower polariton branch is enhanced through efficient relaxation pathways enabled by interactions with lattice vibrations (phonons). Overall, this work demonstrates a facile approach to achieving, characterizing and understanding strong coupling phenomena using colloidal nanocrystal systems.
