ABSTRACT
We report a novel approach to modify the second order nonlinear optical (NLO) susceptibility of organic nanofiber crystals by hybridization with the optical modes of microcavities in the strong coupling regime. The wavelength dependence of the SHG efficiency displays two intense peaks corresponding to the so-formed light-matter hybrid states. Our results demonstrate an enhancement of the resonant SHG efficiency of the lower polariton by 2 orders of magnitude for the collectively coupled molecules as compared to that of the same material outside the microcavity. This study is a proof of principle that opens a new direction for NLO of organic materials in subwavelength resonators.
