Abstract

In this study we explore strong coupling of polariton modes within patterned 2D Van der Waals materials and optical cavities, a frontier promising transformative advances in nanoscale light-matter interactions. Utilizing a quasistatic eigenmodes expansion approach, we develop a theoretical framework that bridges quantum and classical analyses, enabling precise manipulation and prediction of polariton behavior. This study not only elucidates the impact of pattern shape and material properties on these interactions but also establishes a crucial connection between the quantum and classical realms. Our findings pave the way for novel techniques in engineering optical phenomena, offering significant insights into the intricate dynamics of polaritons in 2D material systems, with potential implications for next-generation photonic and quantum technologies.
