Monolayers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Coupled to a Fiber-Microcavity

Atomically thin crystals of transition metal dichalcogenides have recently drawn attention due to their promising optoelectronic properties in the monolayer limit. The two-dimensional shape in combination with strong optical transitions has significant potential for optoelectronic devices. In our experiment, we use an open-access fiber-microcavity to investigate the strong coupling regime of excitons in WS₂ and the resonator mode. The fully tunable setup allows us to adjust the spatial separation of both cavity mirrors in three dimensions with a stable, micron-scale cavity mode and thus to vary the exciton-photon coupling in situ. Altering the cavity length in a first step, we reproducible observe polaritons in the strong coupling regime with a Rabi splitting energy above kBT and validate the characteristic cavity-length dependency of the coupling constant. In a second step, a new hyperspectral imaging technique enables two-dimensional polariton measurements, which spatially resolves significant variation of the Rabi splitting energy within one monolayer sheet. Those splitting fluctuations can be linked to variations in absorption and emission spectra.
