Generating phase singularities using surface exciton polaritons in an organic natural hyperbolic material

Philip A. Thomas, William P. Wardley, William L. Barnes

Surface polaritons (SPs) are electromagnetic waves bound to a surface through their interaction with charge carriers in the surface material. Hyperbolic SPs can be supported by opt…

Response to Comment on "Non-Polaritonic Effects in Cavity-Modified Photochemistry": On the Importance of Experimental Details

Philip A. Thomas, William L. Barnes

This note responds to Schwartz and Hutchison's Comment (arXiv:2403.06001) on our article (DOI:10.1002/adma.202309393). We think differences have arisen not in the experimental resu…

Non-polaritonic effects in cavity-modified photochemistry

Philip A. Thomas, Wai Jue Tan, Vasyl G. Kravets +2

Strong coupling of molecules to vacuum fields has been widely reported to lead to modified chemical properties such as reaction rates. However, some recent attempts to reproduce in…

Molecular Strong Coupling and Cavity Finesse

Kishan S. Menghrajani, Adarsh B. Vasista, Wai Jue Tan +3

Molecular strong coupling offers exciting prospects in physics, chemistry and materials science. Whilst attention has been focused on developing realistic models for the molecular…

All-optical control of phase singularities using strong light-matter coupling

Philip A. Thomas, Kishan S. Menghrajani, William L. Barnes

Strong light-matter coupling occurs when the coupling strength between a confined electromagnetic mode and a molecular resonance exceeds losses to the environment. The study of str…

A new signature for strong light-matter coupling using spectroscopic ellipsometry

Philip A. Thomas, Wai Jue Tan, Henry A. Fernandez +1

Light-matter interactions can occur when an ensemble of molecular resonators is placed in a confined electromagnetic field. In the strong coupling regime the rapid exchange of ener…
