Figure 1 Remote Control of Chemistry with Optical Cavities (A) Simplified visualization. Top: a “pump” pulse excites a polariton whose character is predominantly remote catalyst (RC) and its cavity. Bottom: as a result, a subsequent “probe” pulse efficiently excites a polariton whose character is predominantly reactant and its cavity, and the product is formed. (B) Energetic representation. Left: after pump excitation, the highest polariton relaxes to RC dark states. Right: as a result of the excited RC population just formed, the lowest polariton becomes resonant with the probe pulse and gains reactant character; efficient transfer into the product-yielding state occurs.
