Coexistence of strong and weak coupling in ZnO nanowire cavities
  We present a high quality two-dimensional cavity structure based on ZnO nanowires coated with concentrical Bragg reflectors. The spatial mode distribution leads to the simultaneous appearance of the weak and strong coupling regime even at room temperature. Photoluminescence measurements agree with FDTD simulations. Furthermore the ZnO core nanowires allow for the observation of middle polariton branches between the A- and B-exciton ground state resonances. Further, lasing emission up to room temperature is detected in excitation dependent photoluminescence measurements.
