  1. Comparison between a reference device under no strong coupling, and an exemplary SC-device with d = 55 nm. Strong coupling does not affect the VOC of the device, while the red-shifting of the Eopt leads to a reduction of the EoptqVOC losses
  2. aObtained as the crossing point of the device’s EQE and EL spectra
  3. bObtained as the peak of the lower polariton branch
