Fig. 3: Measured and modeled dispersions of strongly coupled HBQ cavities.

Fig. 3

Angle-resolved absorption (contour map) of cavities containing HBQ at (a) low, (b) mid, and (c) high concentration (C). The absorption spectra of the bare HBQ/PMMA films are shown in pink on the left axis. The white dashed curves represent the upper, middle, and lower polariton branches obtained from fitting the coupled harmonic oscillator model (CHOM, Supplementary Information, subsection 1.7) to the measured spectral positions (black crosses). The middle polariton branches were too faint to be resolved, and therefore not included in the fitting. The black dotted curves depict the dispersion of an undoped cavity (i.e., containing only PMMA), while the horizontal black dotted lines show the molecular absorption peaks at 360 nm and 375 nm of HBQ. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
