Highly nonlinear Moir\'e exciton and trion polaritons
Moir\'e multi-layers of transition metal dichalcogenides have been shown to exhibit optical responses that are endowed with a richness that is absent in single monolayers. Much of this can be attributed to the Moir\'e superlattice that modulates the electronic landscape of these heterostructures. Strongly coupled layer-hybridized excitons in $\text{MoSe}_2 / \text{WS}_2$ heterobilayers have been shown to exhibit enhanced optical nonlinearities. In this work we strongly couple layer hybridized excitons and trions in n-doped $\text{MoSe}_2 / \text{WS}_2$ heterobilayers inside an optical microcavity. We find that the additional Lindhard screening from dopant electrons and the formation of trions result in a strikingly non-monotonic nonlinear response. The absence of electron capture in the Moir\'e superlattice plays a crucial role, promising very large second-order nonlinearities. In this work, trion polaritons manifest as high velocity hot polaritons, reaching nominal diffusion lengths approaching 100 microns.
