Multi-mode Deep Strong Coupling in a Multi Quantum Well Fabry-Perot Cavity

Lucy Hale, Johan Andberger, Ethan Koskas +4

We present multi-mode deep-strong coupling in a multi-quantum well (N=166) heterostructure. The heterostructure itself acts as a Fabry-Perot cavity, for which the even cavity modes…
