Description
Summary:Exciton-polaritons, elementary excitations arising from the strong coupling regime between photons and excitons in insulators or semiconductors, represent a promising platform for studying quantum fluids of light and realizing prospective all-optical devices. Among different materials for room temperature polaritonic devices, two-dimensional (2D) layered perovskites have recently emerged as one of the promising candidates thanks to their prominent excitonic features at room temperature. Here we report on the experimental demonstration of exciton-polaritons at room temperature in resonant metasurfaces made from a subwavelength 2D lattice of perovskite pillars. These metasurfaces are obtained via spincoating, followed by crystallization of the perovskite solution in a pre-patterned glass backbone. The strong coupling regime is revealed by both angular-resolved reflectivity and photoluminescence measurements, showing anticrossing between photonic modes and the exciton resonance with a Rabi splitting in the 200 meV range. Moreover, we show that the polaritonic dispersion can be engineered by tailoring the photonic Bloch mode to which perovskite excitons are coupled. Linear, parabolic, and multi-valley polaritonic dispersions are experimentally demonstrated. All of our results are perfectly reproduced by both numerical simulations based on a rigorous coupled wave analysis and an elementary model based on a quantum theory of radiation-matter interaction. Our results suggest a new approach to study exciton-polaritons and pave the way towards large-scale and low-cost integrated polaritonic devices operating at room temperature.
