Abstract
When the Fabry-Pérot mode of a planar microcavity is resonant with the semiconductor exciton transition of a quantum well embedded in that cavity, many interesting effects occur of which the so-called strong coupling regime has received the most interest. In this regime the photon-exciton interaction is no longer perturbative and at resonance, the degeneracy of the photon mode and the exciton transition is lifted leading to a splitting, described by different terms such as vacuum Rabi splitting, normal-mode coupling, and cavity-polariton splitting.
