Abstract: Thanks to the large binding energy and excellent optical properties of Frenkel excitons, organic semiconductors emerge as ideal platforms for the realization of room-temperature exciton polariton(EP) Bose-Einstein condensates(BEC), which is of great importance for developing on-chip coherent light sources and optical logic elements. Previous demonstrations usually demand complex fabrications with external microcavities, which largely hinders the practical applications in on-chip integration. Recently, Tang et al. have reported a room-temperature EP BEC in organic single-crystal microribbons by employing their intrinsic Fabry-Pérot microcavities, being exempted from the complex fabrication of external microcavities. The high exciton densities in organic microribbons lead to large exciton-photon coupling strength, which facilitates the realization of EP BEC, and the further manipulation of polariton condensates for controllable coherent light output.
