We present strong exciton photon coupling in a hybrid microcavity containing ZnO/ZnMgO quantum wells and specially synthesized ladder-type oligo-(p-phenylene) molecules. An epitaxially grown ZnMgO based Bragg reflector followed by six ZnO quantum wells and the active molecule embedded in a polymer matrix. The cavity is completed by evaporating a SiO₂/ZrO₂ based dielectric mirror. The system is investigated by low temperature angular resolved reflectivity revealing a clear anticrossing related to the Frenkel and Wannier-Mott exciton creating three polariton branches. At an angle of incidence of 35^∘ an equal mixing of all resonances is reached [1]. Through careful adjustment of the oscillator strength of both active materials and the cavity design, we reach an equal mixing in the middle polariton branch. A hybrid exciton-polariton with equal contribution of the photon, Frenkel and Wannier-Mott resonance is created. This makes this new material combination an excellent candidate for tailoring the phonon assisted polariton relaxation and creating a polariton laser.
