Fabrication, characterization and its local reflection properties of a metal-mirror microcavity with high concentrated PIC J-aggregates

We have investigated reflection properties of light-matter strong coupling in a planar metal-mirror microcavity with highly concentrated PIC J-aggregates. Large vacuum Rabi-splitting ranging from 100 to 250 meV is obtained depending on the concentration of the J-aggregates. The factors for providing these large Rabi-splitting will be discussed based on its concentration dependence. We also present our recent study focused on microscopic reflection properties of the microcavity. We have improved microscope optics which enables us to measure local reflection spectra within 0.3-m-diameter area. Observation of incident-light-angle dependence becomes possible. We found existence of micrometer-scale inhomogeneity in the Rabi-splitting (e.g. ±10% in a region), which will be interpreted mainly by the spatial distribution of J’s in the active layer.
