Quantitative Modeling of Polaritonic Emission Using the Source Term Method

Strong exciton-photon coupling leads to the formation of hybrid states, polaritons, with properties different from those of their constituents, making it a valuable tool for modifying the physical and chemical properties of organic and inorganic materials. Despite its potential, the field lacks a fu...
