| contents | Ultraviolet (UV) exciton-polaritons (EPs) enable nonlinear optics, polaritonic lasing, and polariton-mediated photochemistry in the short-wavelength regime, yet progress has been limited due to the scarcity of materials that combine large oscillator strength with stable and narrow UV excitons. Here, we demonstrate UV EPs in silver phenylthiolate (Thiorene, AgSPh), a van der Waals (vdW) layered metal-organic chalcogenolate (MOC) that forms a natural multi-quantum-well (MQW) architecture showing strong excitonic features. Imaging spectroscopic ellipsometry reveals a pronounced in-plane excitonic resonance at 3.46 eV with a narrow linewidth of ~ 60 meV, strong UV birefringence (Δn ~ 0.3), and a high refractive index (n ~ 2.1). Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) shows excitonic emission with a large Stokes shift and substantial exciton-phonon coupling. In both open (self-cavity) and closed cavities, thickness-dependent and angle-resolved reflectance spectra exhibit clear anticrossing, yielding large Rabi splittings of approximately 500 meV. These values are among the largest reported in the UV, positioning thiorene as a promising platform for UV polariton lasers and polariton-enabled photochemistry. |
