Strong interaction between excitons and photons, e.g. in a semiconductor microcavity, lead to the formation of hybrid light-matter quasiparticles called exciton-polaritons. Frenkel excitons, characteristic of organic semiconductors, possess large binding energies, making polariton experiments at ambient conditions possible. Organic materials further exhibit large oscillator strenghts and thus strongly interact with a cavity field. Open cavities are tunable systems rendering non-invasive investigation possible and allow independent control of the excitonic and the photonic part (e.g. mode detuning). Here, we demonstrate the versatility of open cavities and examine the strong exciton-photon coupling between different organic systems (J-aggregates, proteins) and the dielectric cavity for 2D (planar) and 0D (hemispherical) cavities. We further analyzed the transversal mode patterns of the emission of hemispherical cavities.
