Abstract
Here we report on the reflectivity and transmissivity of a TE-polarized wave incident on a microcavity containing strongly coupled, in-plane oriented one dimensional (1D) excitons. We first discuss the propagation of the electric field through the cavity and present a simple model which allows us to understand the underlying physics. We then compare this model to previous reports and perform our own measurements on a microcavity containing an oriented layer of liquid-crystalline poly(9,9-dioctyfluorene) (PFO). We show that in all cases, the reflected and transmitted electric fields are the superpositions of photons leaking parallel and perpendicular to the excitons' orientation.
