Quantitative Investigation of the Rate of Intersystem Crossing in the Strong Exciton-Photon Coupling Regime

Strong interactions between excitons and photons lead to the formation of exciton-polaritons, which possess completely different properties compared to their constituents. The polaritons are created by incorporating a material in an optical cavity where the electromagnetic field is tightly confined....
