We report on the realization of monolithic optical microcavities using a single wall carbon nanotubes doped polymer as active material. Thanks to the control of the polymer thickness, a ne control of the cavity mode energy is achieved, which allows to tune it in exact resonance with a speci c chiral species emission line. The quality factor of the lled cavity mode (Q = 40) allows to selectively extract the luminescence of the (7,5) chiral species. Finally, angle resolved experiments show the tunability of the emission energy within a 150 meV range.
