11. Hybrid modes Three oscillator model Lowest hybrid mode is lower in energy than exciton-polariton by

12. Real part of energy of the hybrid modes versus width of the semiconductor layer adjacent to the gold Real part of energy of the hybrid modes versus thickness of the gold layer. Vertical bars give the imaginary parts of energy

14. Using surface metallization for lateral spatial control of exciton-polaritons Illuminate at a photon energy just above the lowest mode - excitations only created where there is metal

15. Pump detuning       Using the Stark effect and polariton bistability Reduce detuning in one segment by Stark effect – local state goes from lower red to green Diffusion into adjacent segment – local state goes from green to upper red

16. Conclusions Technologically straightforward process of surface metallization makes it possible to have Tamm plasmons in planar microcavity structures Strong coupling of Tamm plasmons and exciton- polaritons is possible Effect can be used to provide spatial control of exciton-polaritons
