摘　　要：Semiconductor exciton–polaritons in planar microcavities form coherent two-dimensional condensates in non-equilibrium.However,the coupling of multiple lower-dimensional polariton quantum systems,which are critical for polaritonic quantum device applications and novel cavity-lattice physics,has been limited in conventional cavity structures.Here,we demonstrate full non-destructive confinement of polaritons using a hybrid cavity composed of a single-layer subwavelength grating mirror and a distributed Bragg reflector.Single-mode polariton lasing was observed at a chosen polarization.The incorporation of a designable slab mirror in a conventional vertical cavity,when operating in the strong-coupling regime,enables the confinement,control and coupling of polariton gasses in a scalable fashion.This approach may open the door to experimental implementations of polariton-based quantum photonic devices and coupled cavity quantum electrodynamic systems.
