摘要:
The strong light-matter coupling is at the core of cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED), which leads to discoveries of quantum optics in solid-state systems, such as Bose-Einstein condensation¬ and photon blockade. Under the strong coupling regime in semiconductor cavities, the “marriage” of light (i.e., photon) and matter (i.e., exciton) leads to the formation of hybrid quasiparticles called exciton-polaritons with unprecedented physical properties. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, i.e., transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) monolayers as outstanding excitonic materials, demonstrate great potential to break the limitations of conventional quantum well systems for solid state CQED. In the last few years, exciton polaritons in TMD monolayers have become an emerging research topic since their realization at room temperature1. For large excitonic binding energies, TMD monolayers demonstrate the robustness and tunability of the coherent light-matter coupling in exciton-polaritons from low temperature throughout room temperature2. Moreover, 2D exciton polaritons in TMD monolayers also show unexplored nonlinear optics with quite distinct quantum electrodynamics based on valley excitonic physics, which has been hardly shown in other polaritonic systems3. Furthermore, 2D exciton polaritons could also lead to nonlinear valley phonon scattering4. In a plasmonic cavity strongly coupled with a TMD monolayer, the phonon scattering is equipped with valley degree of freedom and boosted with superlinear enhancement to a stimulated regime, as revealed by Raman spectroscopy and a theoretical model4. The valley polarization is drastically enhanced and sustained throughout the stimulated regime, suggesting a coherent scattering process enabled by the strong coupling of exciton polaritons. These research progresses indicate a great potential for the 2D exciton polariton research in solid state CQED.
