We report on the observation of strong exciton-photon coupling in a ZnO-based microresonator consisting of a half medium wavelength ZnO cavity embedded between two dielectric Bragg reflectors made of 10.5 layer pairs of yttria stabilized zirconia and Al2O3. The microresonator was investigated by photoluminescence and reflectivity measurements in a wide temperature range between 10 and 550 K. With both techniques a lower polariton branch (LPB) was observable. As expected no signal from an upper polariton branch could be detected caused by the strong absorption of ZnO in this spectral range. The dispersion behaviour of the LPB (in both energy and broadening) is well described by a model that takes into account the coupling between one exciton mode and one cavity-photon mode. From this analysis we can conclude that the microresonator is in the strong coupling regime up to 410 K. Maximum values of the coupling strength at 10 K of 51 meV, respectively 55 meV, could be derived from the photoluminescence and from the reflectivity. These results demonstrate the high potential of ZnO microresonators for the realization of a Bose-Einstein condensation at room temperature and above.
