Coherent excitation of a nonlinear semiconductor microcavity is theoretically reported. It intends to counterbalance the frequency drift of the cavity resonance driven by the nonlinear refractive effects, which causes a limitation in the energy coupling efficiency of an input pulse into the cavity resonance. We show that exciting such a nonlinear microcavity with tailored chirped pulses allows to maintain the benefit of light localization and to further enhance light-matter interactions, opening the way to the realization of highly efficient nonlinear devices.
