(Received 9 October 2007; accepted 13 January 2008; published online 11 February 2008)

The authors report on monolithic, light-emitting vertical microcavities based on an organic semiconductor single crystal. The devices are realized by reactive electron-beam deposition of dielectric mirrors and growth of tetracene crystals by physical vapor transport. The microcavities exhibit optical cavity modes in the visible range (550–580 nm) with full width at half maximum down to 2–3 nm, corresponding to a Q factor of about 200, and polarization-induced modal splitting up to 20 meV. These results open perspectives for the realization of polarized-emitting optoelectronic devices based on organic crystals.
