Here, we review the design of optical cavities, transient and modulated responses, and
theoretical models relevant to vibrational strong coupling (VSC). While planar Fabry–Perot …

Molecular polaritons are quasiparticles resulting from the hybridization between molecular
and photonic modes. These composite entities, bearing characteristics inherited from both …

Reaction-rate modifications for chemical processes due to strong coupling between reactant
molecular vibrations and the cavity vacuum have been reported; however, no currently …

The coherent exchange of energy between materials and optical fields leads to strong light–
matter interactions and so-called polaritonic states with intriguing properties, halfway …

Chemical manifestations of strong light–matter coupling have recently been a subject of
intense experimental and theoretical studies. Here we review the present status of this field …

Interactions between light and matter play an instrumental role in spectroscopy, sensing,
quantum information processing and lasers. In most of these applications, light is considered …

The human body absorbs and loses heat largely through infrared radiation centering around
a wavelength of 10 micrometers. However, neither our skin nor the textiles that make up …

Molecular polaritons are the optical excitations which emerge when molecular transitions
interact strongly with confined electromagnetic fields. Increasing interest in the hybrid …

It is possible to modify the chemical and physical properties of molecules, not only through
chemical modifications but also by coupling molecules strongly to light. More intriguingly …

Many chemical methods have been developed to favor a particular product in
transformations of compounds that have two or more reactive sites. We explored a different …
