摘要

Abstract

The strong light–matter interaction in ZnO-embedded microcavities has received great attention in recent years

due to its ability to generate the robust bosonic quasiparticles

exciton-polaritons

at or above room temperature. This review introduces the strong coupling effect in ZnO-based microcavities and describes the recent progress in this field. In addition

the report contains a systematic analysis of the room-temperature strong-coupling effects from relaxation to polariton lasing. The stable room temperature operation of polaritonic effects in a ZnO microcavity promises a wide range of practical applications in the future

such as ultra-low power consumption coherent light emitters in the ultraviolet region

polaritonic transport

and other fundamental of quantum optics in solid-state systems.
