Transmissivity and Reflectivity of a Transverse‐Electric Polarized Wave Incident on a Microcavity Containing Strongly Coupled Excitons with In‐plane Uniaxially Oriented Transition Dipole Moments

This work examines the reflectivity and transmissivity of a transverse‐electric (TE) polarized wave incident on a microcavity containing strongly coupled excitons with in‐plane uniaxially oriented transition dipole moments, and a different interpretation to a previous report is presented. The propagation of the electric field inside the cavity is discussed, and a distinction is made between two different physical cases: the first, previously observed, and the second, which enables the interpretation of measurements carried out on a microcavity containing an oriented layer of liquid‐crystalline poly(9,9‐dioctylfluorene). In all cases, the reflected and transmitted electric fields derive from photons leaking parallel and perpendicular to the transition dipole moment orientation. Herein, the reflectivity and transmissivity of a transverse‐electric (TE) polarized wave incident on a microcavity containing strongly coupled excitons with in‐plane uniaxially oriented transition dipole moments are examined. It is shown that the reflected and transmitted electric fields derive from photons leaking parallel and perpendicular to the transition dipole moment orientation.
