Light-matter coupling in van der Waals materials holds significant promise in realizing Bosonic condensation and superfluidity. The underlying semiconductors crystal asymmetry, if any, can be utilized to form anisotropic half-light half-matter quasiparticles. We demonstrate generation of such highly anisotropic exciton-polaritons at the interface of a biaxial layered semiconductor, stacked on top of a distributed Bragg reflector. The spatially confined photonic mode in this geometry couples with polarized excitons and their Rydberg states, creating a system of highly anisotropic polariton manifolds, displaying vacuum Rabi splitting of upto 68 meV. Rotation of the incident beam polarization is used to tune coupling strength and smoothly switch regimes from weak to strong coupling, while also enabling transition from one three-body coupled oscillator system to another. Light-matter coupling is further tunable by varying the number of weakly coupled optically active layers. Our work provides a versatile method of engineering devices for applications in polarization-controlled polaritonics and optoelectronics.
Compression dramatically changes the transport and localization properties of graphene. This is intimately related to the change of symmetry of the Dirac cone when the particle hopping is different along different directions of the lattice. In partic
We have used angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the band structure of ReS$_2$, a transition-metal dichalcogenide semiconductor with a distorted 1T crystal structure. We find a large number of narrow valence bands, which we attri
Topological insulators (TIs) are a striking example of materials in which topological invariants are manifested in robustness against perturbations. Their most prominent feature is the emergence of topological edge states with reduced dimension at th
Interactions of few-cycle terahertz pulses with the induced optical polarization in a quantum-well microcavity reveal that the lower and higher exciton-polariton modes together with the optically forbidden 2p-exciton state form a unique {Lambda}-type
We show theoretically that a lattice of exciton-polaritons can behave as a life-like cellular automaton when simultaneously excited by a continuous wave coherent field and a time-periodic sequence of non-resonant pulses. This provides a mechanism of
