Using surface metallization for lateral spatial control of exciton-polaritons
Illuminate at a photon energy just above the lowest mode - excitations only created where there is metal
Pump detuning
Using the Stark effect and polariton bistability
Reduce detuning in one segment by Stark effect – local state goes from lower red to green
Diffusion into adjacent segment– local state goes from green to upper red
Conclusions
Technologically straightforward process of surface metallization makes it possible to have Tamm plasmons in planar microcavity structures
Strong coupling of Tamm plasmons and exciton-polaritons is possible
Effect can be used to provide spatial control of exciton-polaritons
