Phys. Rev. B 78, 153102 (2008) [4 pages]Resonant Rayleigh scattering from an anisotropic organic single-crystal microcavityReceived 11 July 2008; revised 9 September 2008; published 6 October 2008 Resonant Rayleigh scattering (RRS) is observed upon excitation of a microcavity containing a single crystal of the organic molecule anthracene. The RRS profile is obtained for a range of excitation energies and angles. In contrast to the circular profile observed for inorganic microcavities, the scattered light pattern is elliptical when projected normal to the sample surface. The profile shape provides a direct visual representation of the anisotropic microcavity polariton dispersion characteristic of organic crystals. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
