Abstract

Electrical control over the energy exchange between exciton states mediated by cavity-polaritons at room temperature is demonstrated. Spatially separated field effect transistors based on monolayers of WS2_2 and MoS2_2 are placed in a tuneable Fabry-P\'erot microcavity. This device is specially designed for the formation of exciton-polaritons that combine the two exciton species and a tuneable cavity mode. It is further shown that the tuning of the free carrier density in the WS2_2 film leads to a strong modulation of the Rabi splitting that modifies the excitonic and photonic nature of exciton-polaritons. Electrical control of polaritonic devices may lead to technological applications using switchable quantum states.
