Title: Manipulating molecules with strong coupling: harvesting triplet excitons in organic exciton microcavities

Abstract

Exciton-polaritons are quasiparticles with mixed photon and exciton character with the potential to modify chemical properties of materials. Here, they are used to provide dark, high-spin triplet-pair states a new pathway to emit light.

Fig. 1 Fig. 1: Strong light-matter coupling in optical microcavities. (a) Microcavity structure. A thin film of organic semiconductor or dye dispersed in neutral polymer matrix is deposited in the cavity defined by the two mirrors, here Ag. The thickness of the cavity determines the energy of the confined photonic mode andmore » thus the profile of the electric field inside the cavity, shown here for the λ-mode. Reflection and emission from the cavity are measured as a function of angle θ, with 0° defined as normal to the cavity surface. (b) When the cavity mode and the excitonic transition of the semiconductor are near resonance, these two states can couple, forming hybrid upper and lower polariton states. (c) Unlike the exciton (blue), the cavity mode (gold) exhibits distinct angular dispersion. Coupling between the two yields dispersed polariton branches, with characteristic anti-crossing at the exciton energy. Shading indicates the degree of photonic (gold) vs. excitonic (blue) character in the state. (d) Typical excitonic processes possible within organic semiconductor films. IR: intermolecular relaxation, (R)ISC: (reverse) intersystem crossing, TTA: triplet–triplet annihilation, DF: delayed fluorescence. Solid arrows indicate processes known to modify exciton-polariton emission dynamics, while dashed arrows show processes not typically explored within microcavities.« less
