⭐️ Publication alert in Nature Photonics⭐️
We report an ultrastrong coupling in 2D Metal-organic Chalcogenolates (MOCHA). Rabi splitting more than 600 meV at 470 nm observed from MOCHA is much higher than any III-V semiconductor or perovskites in the blue region.

[Surendra Anantharaman @Surendra_Ananth]

Such ultrastrong coupling in a closed cavity with MOCHA leads to emission linewidth of ~1 nm, which is the narrowest emission matching close to lasing!!
Thank you Deep (@deep29jariwala) for your mentorship and thanks to all our collaborators.
