Coherent interaction of WS$_2$ and quasi-2D perovskite excitons over micrometer distances via a cavity field

The coherent coupling of cavity-confined photons and excitonic matter resonances leads to the formation of cavity polaritons, hybrid light-matter quasi-particles. If multiple exciton resonances couple to the same photonic mode, the resulting polariton constitutes a coherent interaction between matter resonances that can be spatially separated without any direct electronic coupling. In this work, we demonstrate the formation of such a coherent coupling at room temperature using an open optical cavity containing two distinct van der Waals materials - monolayer WS2 and layered quasi-2D halide perovskites (HaPs) - separated by $1.5 μ\rm m$. The system forms three polariton branches, with the middle branch possessing nearly equal fractions of both excitons and the photonic mode. White-light reflectivity and luminescence measurements are in good agreement with simulations using a coupled harmonic oscillator and a microscopic Wannier-Hopfield framework. Our results lay the foundation to combine highly complementary degrees of freedom in 2D materials in an in-situ tunable fashion to enable new polaritonic functionalities.

Room-temperature polariton condensate in a two-dimensional hybrid perovskite

Layered 2D halide perovskites are chemically synthesized realizations of quantum well stacks with giant exciton oscillator strengths, tunable emission spectra and very large exciton binding energies. While these features render 2D halide perovskites a promising platform for room-temperature polaritonics, bosonic condensation and polariton lasing in 2D perovskites have so far remained elusive at ambient conditions. Here, we demonstrate room-temperature cavity exciton-polariton condensation in mechanically exfoliated crystals of the 2D Ruddlesden-Popper iodide perovskite $(BA)_{2}(MA)_{2}Pb_{3}I_{10}$ in an open optical microcavity. We observe a polariton condensation threshold of $P_{th}=6.76 fJ$ per pulse and detect a strong non-linear response. Interferometric measurements confirm the spontaneous emergence of spatial coherence across the condensate with an associated first-order autocorrelation reaching $g^{(1)}\approx 0.6$. Our results lay the foundation for a new class of room-temperature polariton lasers based on 2D halide perovskites with great potential for hetero-integration with other van-der-Waals materials and combination with photonic crystals or waveguides.

Van Der Waals Heteroepitaxy of GaSe and InSe, Quantum Wells and Superlattices

Bandgap engineering and quantum confinement in semiconductor heterostructures provide the means to fine-tune material response to electromagnetic fields and light in a wide range of the spectrum. Nonetheless, forming semiconductor heterostructures on lattice-mismatched substrates has been a challenge for several decades, leading to restrictions for device integration and the lack of efficient devices in important wavelength bands. Here, we show that the van der Waals epitaxy of two-dimensional (2D) GaSe and InSe heterostructures occur on substrates with substantially different lattice parameters, namely silicon and sapphire. The GaSe/InSe heterostructures were applied in the growth of quantum wells and superlattices presenting photoluminescence and absorption related to interband transitions. Moreover, we demonstrate a self-powered photodetector based on this heterostructure on Si that works in the visible-NIR wavelength range. Fabricated at wafer-scale, these results pave the way for an easy integration of optoelectronics based on these layered 2D materials in current Si technology.
