42. The cavity photon and the cavity polariton states in an isotropic microcavity should be labeled according to their TE or TM polarization character. After averaging on the randomly oriented J aggregates, however, all scattering rates have only a weak dependence on polarization. Very recent experiments [A. Camposeo, L. Persano, P. Del Carro, T. Virgili, R. Cingolani, and D. Pisignano, Org. Electron. OERLAU 1566-1199 10.1016/j.orgel.2006.06.004 8, 114 (2007)] observed a TE-TM splitting of the order of 10 meV in the polariton anticrossing region. As long as such splitting is small compared to the Rabi splitting, the temperature dependence of the unpolarized photoluminescence intensity ratio between UP and LP should not be significantly affected. For these reasons and to reduce the computational burden, here, we are using a scalar model insensitive to the polarization degree of freedom.
43. We take the polariton photoluminescence as the only one channel of decay for the system excitations. We do not take into account the possibility of uncoupled exciton nonradiative decay nor the direct radiative decay of uncoupled excitons into external photons that might be relevant channels of excitation number decay. Their effects, however, would simply be a rescaling of the absolute value of the calculated ER population, leaving unchanged all the polariton optical properties analyzed here.
