Abstract
Plasmonic dimer cavities can induce extreme electric-field hot spots that allow one to access ultrastrong coupling regimes using Raman-type spectroscopy on single vibrating molecules. Using a generalized master equation, we study resonant Raman scattering in the strong coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics, when also in the vibrational ultrastrong coupling regime, leading to ``phonon-dressed polaritons.'' The master equation rigorously includes spectral baths for the cavity and vibrational degrees of freedom, as well as a pure dephasing bath for the resonant two-level system, which play a significant role. Employing realistic parameters for gold dimer cavity modes, we investigate the emission spectra in several characteristic strong coupling regimes, leading to extremely rich spectral resonances due to an interplay of phonon-modified polariton states and bath-induced resonances. We also show explicitly the failure of the standard master equation in these quantum nonlinear regimes.
