Abstract
The hybrid light-matter character of exciton-polaritons enables strikingly long-range energy transport in organic materials. We use femtosecond transient absorption microscopy to probe this behavior in the initial coherent regime, where photon and exciton wavefunctions are inextricably mixed. We achieve rapid polaritonic transport in highly ordered, pure organic semiconductor films without any external cavity. In a disordered system, confinement within a Fabry-Perot cavity provides enables comparable coherent transport effects. In both cases, the polaritons don’t travel alone: they are accompanied by intracavity dark states, which reduce the transport velocity, extend the lifetime, and provide a new mechanism for external control.
