Abstract

Light-matter interaction has been dominated by Born-Oppenheimer approximation for centuries. Here the authors proposed a light-matter interaction mechanism beyond this approximation, proposing stimulated phonon polariton-mediated light-matter interaction, showing further understanding and applications in the fields of optics/photonics and condensed-matter physics.
