Enhanced Light–Matter Interaction with Bloch Surface Wave Modulated Plasmonic Nanocavities

sandwiched in the hybrid nanocavities, a Rabi splitting of approximately 186 meV is obtained and the number of excitons involved in the coupling is reduced to 8. This is the smallest number reported to date for transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) based systems, with an effective coupling strength per individual exciton reaching 17.6 meV, which is nearly double the highest reported value.
