摘要
Exciton polaritons in atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenide microcavities provide a versatile platform for advancing optoelectronic devices and studying the interacting Bosonic physics at ambient conditions.Rationally engineering the favorable properties of polaritons is critically required for the rapidly growing research.Here,we demonstrate the manipulation of nonlinear polaritons with the lithographically defined potential landscapes in monolayer WS_(2)microcavities.The discretization of photoluminescence dispersions and spatially confined patterns indicate the deterministic on-site localization of polaritons by the artificial mesa cavities.Varying the trapping sizes,the polariton-reservoir interaction strength is enhanced by about six times through managing the polariton–exciton spatial overlap.Meanwhile,the coherence of trapped polaritons is significantly improved due to the spectral narrowing and tailored in a picosecond range.Therefore,our work not only offers a convenient approach to manipulating the nonlinearity and coherence of polaritons but also opens up possibilities for exploring many-body phenomena and developing novel polaritonic devices based on 2D materials.
