The interaction between an ensemble of molecules and an electromagnetic field in a highly limited volume makes it possible to control the properties of a substance and, therefore, is an exceptionally promising area of research. The most common way to achieve weak or strong light-matter coupling is to place an ensemble of molecules in a micron-sized resonator. In such a system,the interaction of light with matter appears in the form of a change in the spectral response of the system, which depends on the strength of the coupling between the ensemble of molecules and the modes of the resonator. Currently, there is no general and user-friendly approach that allows studying a lot of different samples in a wide optical range using the same resonator setup. The present paper describes the design of a device that makes it possible to overcome this disadvantage, speed up and facilitate the study of the light-matter interaction, and also obtain weak and strong light-matter coupling modes for a large number of samples in the UV, visible, and IR regions of the optical spectrum. The device developed here is based on the tunable unstable λ/2 Fabry-Perot microresonator, consisting of flat and convex mirrors, which satisfy the condition of plane-parallelism at least at one point of the curved mirror and can significantly reduce the mode volume. The device was used to study the effect of the strong-coupling regime on the fluorescent properties of the Rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye embedded in a boron nitride nanoparticles matrix. It was found that the use of boron nitride (h-BN) as a carrier matrix has an orienting effect on the dye molecules, that results in an increase of the light-matter coupling strength at a lower resonator mode energy required. Keywords: microspectroscopy, optical microresonator, strong coupling, boron nitride.
