Electro-optic cavities for in-situ measurement of cavity fields by Michael S. Spencer, Joanna M. Urban, Maximilian Frenzel, Niclas S. Mueller, Olga Minakova, Martin Wolf, Alexander Paarmann, Sebastian F. Maehrlein

“…To enable simultaneous intra-cavity sampling alongside excited-state material control, we design a tunable multi-layer cavity, enabling deterministic design of hybrid cavities for polaritonic systems. Our theoretical models reveal the origin of the avoided crossings embedded in the intricate mode dispersion, and will enable fully-switchable polaritonic effects within arbitrary materials hosted by the hybrid cavity. …”
