Electrical control over the energy exchange between exciton states mediated by cavity-polaritons at room temperature is demonstrated. Spatially separated field effect transistors based on monolayers of WS$_2$ and MoS$_2$ are placed in a tuneable Fabry-Perot microcavity. This device is specially designed for the formation of exciton-polaritons that combine the two exciton species and a tuneable cavity mode. It is further shown that the tuning of the free carrier density in the WS$_2$ film leads to a strong modulation of the Rabi splitting that modifies the excitonic and photonic nature of exciton-polaritons. Electrical control of polaritonic devices may lead to technological applications using switchable quantum states.

Polariton emission from optical cavities integrated with various luminophores has been extensively studied recently due to the wide variety of possible applications in photonics, particularly promising in terms of fabrication of low-threshold sources
of coherent emission. Tuneable microcavities allow extensive investigation of the photophysical properties of matter placed inside the cavity by deterministically changing the coupling strength and controllable switching from weak to strong and ultra-strong coupling regimes. Here we demonstrate room temperature strong coupling of exciton transitions in CdSe/ZnS/CdS/ZnS colloidal quantum dots with the optical modes of a tuneable low-mode-volume microcavity. Strong coupling is evidenced by a large Rabi splitting of the photoluminescence spectra depending on the detuning of the microcavity. A coupling strength of 154 meV has been achieved. High quantum yields, excellent photostability, and scalability of fabrication of QDs paves the way to practical applications of coupled systems based on colloidal QDs in photonics, optoelectronics, and sensing.
Strong many-body interactions in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors give rise to efficient exciton-exciton annihilation (EEA). This process is expected to result in the generation of unbound high energy carriers. Here, we report an unconventional ph
otoresponse of van der Waals heterostructure devices resulting from efficient EEA. Our heterostructures, which consist of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and few-layer graphene, exhibit photocurrent when photoexcited carriers possess sufficient energy to overcome the high energy barrier of hBN. Interestingly, we find that the device exhibits moderate photocurrent quantum efficiency even when the semiconducting TMD layer is excited at its ground exciton resonance despite the high exciton binding energy and large transport barrier. Using ab initio calculations, we show that EEA yields highly energetic electrons and holes with unevenly distributed energies depending on the scattering condition. Our findings highlight the dominant role of EEA in determining the photoresponse of 2D semiconductor optoelectronic devices.
We demonstrate control over light-matter coupling at room temperature combining a field effect transistor (FET) with a tuneable optical microcavity. Our microcavity FET comprises a monolayer tungsten disulfide WS$_2$ semiconductor which was transferr
ed onto a hexagonal boron nitride flake that acts as a dielectric spacer in the microcavity, and as an electric insulator in the FET. In our tuneable system, strong coupling between excitons in the monolayer WS$_2$ and cavity photons can be tuned by controlling the cavity length, which we achieved with excellent stability, allowing us to choose from the second to the fifth order of the cavity modes. Once we achieve the strong coupling regime, we then modify the oscillator strength of excitons in the semiconductor material by modifying the free electron carrier density in the conduction band of the WS$_2$. This enables strong Coulomb repulsion between free electrons, which reduces the oscillator strength of excitons until the Rabi splitting completely disappears. We controlled the charge carrier density from 0 up to 3.2 $times$ 10$^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$, and over this range the Rabi splitting varies from a maximum value that depends on the cavity mode chosen, down to zero, so the system spans the strong to weak coupling regimes.
Auger-like exciton-exciton annihilation (EEA) is considered the key fundamental limitation to quantum yield in devices based on excitons in two-dimensional (2d) materials. Since it is challenging to experimentally disentangle EEA from competing proce
sses, guidance of a quantitative theory is highly desirable. The very nature of EEA requires a material-realistic description that is not available to date. We present a many-body theory of EEA based on first-principle band structures and Coulomb interaction matrix elements that goes beyond an effective bosonic picture. Applying our theory to monolayer MoS$_2$ encapsulated in hexagonal BN, we obtain an EEA coefficient in the order of $10^{-3}$ cm$^{2}$s$^{-1}$ at room temperature, suggesting that exciton annihilation is often dominated by other processes, such as defect-assisted scattering. Our studies open a perspective to quantify the efficiency of intrinsic EEA processes in various 2d materials in the focus of modern materials research.
Optical harmonic generation occurs when high intensity light ($>10^{10}$W/m$^{2}$) interacts with a nonlinear material. Electrical control of the nonlinear optical response enables applications such as gate-tunable switches and frequency converters.
Graphene displays exceptionally strong-light matter interaction and electrically and broadband tunable third order nonlinear susceptibility. Here we show that the third harmonic generation efficiency in graphene can be tuned by over two orders of magnitude by controlling the Fermi energy and the incident photon energy. This is due to logarithmic resonances in the imaginary part of the nonlinear conductivity arising from multi-photon transitions. Thanks to the linear dispersion of the massless Dirac fermions, ultrabroadband electrical tunability can be achieved, paving the way to electrically-tuneable broadband frequency converters for applications in optical communications and signal processing.
