In this work we report on a strong coupling regime between excitons in monolayer WSe2 and photons confined in an open, voltage-tunable dielectric microcavity. The tunability of our system allows us to extend the exciton-polariton state over a wide energy range and, in particular, to bring the excitonic component of the lower polariton mode into resonance with other excitonic transitions in monolayer WSe2. With selective excitation of spin-polarized exciton-polaritons we demonstrate the valley polarization when the polaritons from the lower branch come into resonance with a bright trion state in monolayer WSe2 and valley depolarization when they are in resonance with a dark trion state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-25T16:15:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "monolayer wse2", "valley polarization", "tunable microcavity", "exciton-polariton", "monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
