Surface Plasmon Enhanced Strong Exciton-Photon Coupling in Hybrid Inorganic-Organic Perovskites Nanowires

Abstract

Manipulating strong light-matter interaction in semiconductor microcavities is crucial for developing high-performance exciton polariton devices with great potentials in next-generation all-solid state quantum technologies. In this work, we report surface plasmon enhanced strong exciton-photon interaction in CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite nanowires. Characteristic anti-crossing behaviors, indicating Rabi splitting energy up to ~ 560 meV, are observed near exciton resonance in hybrid semiconductor-insulator-metallic waveguide cavity at room temperature. An exciton-photon coupling strength enhancement factor of ~ 1.4 times is evaluated, which is mainly attributed to surface plasmon induced localized excitation field redistribution. Further, systematic studies on nanowires and insulator dimension dependence of exciton-photon interaction are presented. These results provide new avenues to achieve extremely high coupling strengths and push forward the development of electrically pumped and ultra-low threshold small lasers.
