Abstract
We demonstrate room temperature lasing through the polaritonic mode of a J-aggregate microcavity in which losses from exciton-exciton annihilation and slow polariton relaxation typical of direct J-aggregate excitation are circumvented via intra-cavity pumping. The pumping scheme utilizes an organic dye layer (DCM) within the cavity with an emission band overlapping the entire lower J-aggregate polariton branch spectrum, hence forcing DCM lasing to occur through the strongly-coupled mode. This cavity architecture, which separates strong coupling and gain into two materials, presents a general and flexible design for polariton devices and allows for the use of a wide range of materials, organic and inorganic, to be integrated into the cavity.
