We study the use of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities to generate radiation spanning the infrared to terahertz regions of the spectrum by exploiting transitions between upper and lower polariton branches. The process, which is analogous to difference-frequency generation (DFG), relies on the use of semiconductors with a nonvanishing second-order susceptibility. For an organic microcavity composed of a nonlinear optical polymer, we predict a DFG irradiance enhancement of, as compared to a bare nonlinear polymer film, when triple resonance with the fundamental cavity mode is satisfied. In the case of an inorganic microcavity composed of (111) GaAs, an enhancement ofis found, as compared to a bare GaAs slab. Both structures show high wavelength tunability and relaxed design constraints due to the high modal overlap of polariton modes.
