We observe polariton emission along the lower polariton branch, with our results indicating that this process involves a return to the exciton reservoir and the absorption of thermal energy from molecules in a vibrationally excited ground-state. We speculate that the generation of a population of \"hot\" polaritons is enhanced by the fact that the cavity supresses the emission of Stokes-shifted fluorescence, as it is located energetically below the cut-off frequency of the cavity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-04-18T17:38:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strongly coupled organic semiconductor microcavity", "anti-stokes fluorescence", "generation", "strongly coupled organic dye microcavities", "resonant ground-state excitation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
