Abstract

Enhancement and active control of light-matter interactions at the atomic scale is important for developing next-generation nanophotonic and quantum optical devices. Here, we demonstrate electric control of excitonic strong coupling and electroluminescence (EL) by integrating a semiconductor monolayer into a nanometer gap of single electrically driven nanocube-on-mirror plasmonic nanocavities, which provide unmatched optical and electrical confinement. In particular, in a strongly coupled system of nanocavity plasmons and tungsten diselenide (WSe
