Abstract

We study the ultra-strong light-matter coupling of THz metamaterials to Landau level transitions in heavily non-parabolic strained Ge quantum wells (QWs) and InSb QWs. We systematically scale the frequency of the THz metamaterial and observe a clear deviation of the polariton energies from the standard Hopfield model. The lower polariton frequency is strongly below the expected frequency from a standard Hopfield model.
