Semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) provide a fascinating discovery platform for strong light-matter interaction effects in the visible spectrum at ambient conditions. While most of the work has focused on hybridizing excitons with resonant photonic modes of external mirrors, cavities, or nanostructures, intriguingly, TMDC flakes of sub-wavelength thickness can themselves act as nanocavities. Here, we determine the optical response of such freestanding planar waveguides of WSe$_2$, by means of cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. We reveal strong exciton-photon interaction effects that foster long-range propagating exciton-polaritons and enable direct imaging of the energy transfer dynamics originating from cavity-like Fabry-Perot resonances. Furthermore, confinement effects due to discontinuities in the flakes are demonstrated as an efficient means to tailor the exciton-photon coupling strength, along the edges of natural flakes. Our combined experimental and theoretical results provide a deeper understanding of exciton-photon self-hybridization in semiconducting TMDCs and may pave the way to optoelectronic nanocircuits exploiting exciton-photon interaction.
Polaritons enable the resonant coupling of excitons and photons to vibrations in the application-relevant super high frequency (SHF, 3-30 GHz) domain. We introduce a novel platform for coherent optomechanics based on the coupling of exciton-polariton
Exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities have advanced to become a model system for studying dynamical Bose-Einstein condensation, macroscopic coherence, many-body effects, nonclassical states of light and matter, and possibly quantum phase
Polaritons formed by the coupling of light and material excitations such as plasmons, phonons, or excitons enable light-matter interactions at the nanoscale beyond what is currently possible with conventional optics. Recently, significant interest ha
Bogoliubovs theory states that self-interaction effects in Bose-Einstein condensates produce a characteristic linear dispersion at low momenta. One of the curious features of Bogoliubovs theory is that the new quasiparticles in the system are linear
We experimentally demonstrate hot exciton transport in h-BN encapsulated WSe2 monolayers via spatially and temporally resolved photoluminescence measurements at room temperature. We show that the nonlinear evolution of the mean squared displacement o
