Abstract

We investigate the optical properties of a metal-mirror microcavity containing a liquid-crystalline (LC) perylene tetracarboxylic bisimide (PTCBI) derivative. Measurements of the transmission's incidence angle dependence show that the peaks are split in a complex way and shift as the angle changes. Further, measurements of the photoluminescence spectrum's emission angle dependence show that the peak also shifts with the angle, as in the transmission experiment. We also carry out a theoretical analysis; the theoretical and experimental results are in very good agreement, and we estimate the vacuum Rabi splitting energies to be about 212, 180, and 240 meV. In addition, the peak photoluminescence energy coincides with the lower polariton branch obtained by transmission experiment. Finally, in a time-resolved photoluminescence experiment, we observe a fast relaxation component that is not seen in the bare LC PTCBI film. We believe this is due to cavity effects increasing the spontaneous emission transition rate, indicating that the emissions are due to cavity polaritons.
