Molecular Orientation‐Dependent Photonic Spin–Orbit Coupling in Organic Microcavities Filled with 2D Polymorphic Crystals

ABSTRACT Effective manipulation of photonic spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in microcavities is of fundamental importance within topological photonics and applications. Anisotropic organic single‐crystalline materials can induce abundant SOC phenomenon due to their flexible tunability of molecular geometries, however, the intrinsic relationship between molecular geometries/orientations in 3D space and photonic SOC is lacking. In this study, we design two kinds of 2D organic polymorphs for the construction of organic microcavities to investigate the structure‐performance relationships. In two polymorphic microcavities, two distinctive photonic SOC phenomena are observed regardless of the in‐plane anisotropy of organic polymorphs. Theoretical analysis indicates that the photonic SOC strength is strongly influenced by the synergies between the crystal anisotropy and the tilted collective molecular transition dipole moment. Our results uncover the correlation mechanism between the structure of molecules and photonic SOC and open an avenue to engineer complex photonic SOC by use of organic microstructures towards the development of diverse integrated photonic devices.
