Abstract

We have realized an electroluminescent device operating in the light-matter strong-coupling regime based on a GaAs / AlGaAs quantum cascade structure embedded in a planar microcavity. At zero bias, reflectivity measurements show a polariton anticrossing between the intersubband transition and the cavity mode. Under electrical injection the spectral features of the emitted light change drastically, as electrons are resonantly injected in a reduced part of the polariton branches. Our experiments demonstrate that electrons can be selectively injected into polariton states up to room temperature.
