“…In recent years, vibrational strong coupling (VSC) has attracted extensive attention from scientific fields, e.g., photonics, chemistry, materials, and biomedicine. VSC occurs as the vibrational modes of a substance can interact with photonic modes in a resonant manner, resulting in a coherent exchange of energy. , These substances include both small molecules (e.g., water, hormones, and heme) and macromolecules (e.g., deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, and enzymes). − Generally, molecules are placed in between two parallel reflecting mirrors, so-called optical resonators, e.g., the Fabry–Pérot (FP) resonator. , The VSC status can be realized by simply adjusting the distance between the two mirrors, termed the light path or cavity distance, as its photonic energy level is equal to the vibrational frequency of the molecules in it. Several research teams have applied the VSC effect to a variety of reaction systems .…”
