In recent years, high optical quality (i.e., negligible diffuse scattering) nanostructured perovskite films displaying intense excitonic bands have been integrated into Fabry-Pérot resonators, giving rise to strong light-matter coupling.[1-3] Under this regime, the electronic and photonic structure of the perovskite-cavity system undergoes a reconfiguration that gives rise to new hybrid light-matter states known as exciton-polaritons, which determine the absorption and emission properties of the ensemble. These advances have yielded significant milestones, like the observation of Bose-Einstein condensation in both two-dimensional (2D) perovskites[4] and quantum dot solids,[5] the latter at room temperature, as well as the possibility to study complex physical phenomena.[6]

In this talk, we will describe an alternative approach to achieve strong light-matter coupling in two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites integrated in optical cavities.[S. Gallego et al., In preparation] We will show that mesoporous scaffolds presenting a narrow nanopore size distribution provide unique opportunities both to (i) control the quality and phase-purity of the 2D perovskite synthesized within them, featuring single phase large transition dipole moments, and (ii) achieve intense and spectrally tunable cavity resonances, hence favoring the precise design of exciton-polaritons. Fine control of the cavity size, achieved by means of the precise control of the scaffold thickness, permits to accurately determine the absorption and emission properties of the ensemble, which displays the characteristic anticrossing behavior of the upper and lower polaritonic branches, a significant Rabi splitting above 200 meV and tunable photoluminescence properties fully controlled by the lower polariton.
