Two-dimensional atomic crystals of transition metals dichalcogenides have come to be a recent field of interest due to their attractive optoelectronic properties. In the scope of this work we investigate the excitons in monolayer molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) coupled to a microcavity. Due to high exciton binding energies and a strong oscillator strength it is possible to observe collective strong coupling of excitons and photons at room temperature[1]. In our experiment we use a tunable open-access cavity with one curved mirror and one planar mirror on top of which MoS2 is placed. This type of setup allows to control the spatial separation of both cavity mirrors and thus to see effects of the confinement on the polariton state. Furthermore we have a defined, microscopic cavity mode, which can form a potential for the exciton polaritons and thus lead to interaction effects. We report on the current state of the experiment.
