Resumo

We investigate the coupling of ladder-type quarterphenyl to the photon modes of a dielectric ZrOx/SiOx microcavity at ultraviolet wavelengths. For a relatively long cavity (approximate to 10 m) with high-reflectivity mirrors (0.998), optically pumped laser action is demonstrated in the weak-coupling regime. We observe single-mode operation with a threshold of 0.4 mJcm(-2). Strong coupling is achieved by using a short /2 cavity. We find pronounced anti-crossing features of the molecular (0,0) and (0,1) vibronic transitions and the cavity mode in angle-dependent reflectivity measurements providing Rabi splittings of (90 +/- 10) meV. All these features occur spectrally resonant to the exciton transition of ZnO demonstrating the potential of ladder-type oligo(p-phenylene)s for the construction of inorganic/organic hybrid microcavities.
