We consider the scenario of an emitter embedded in a nonideal cavity. Using an input-output approach to describe the open system, we show that an effective dissipative coupling between the emitter and the cavity can emerge because of their interaction with a common photonic environment [1].
This dissipative coupling can give rise to physical effects that do not occur in closed light-matter coupled systems. In particular, it can lead to the level attraction between the emitter and cavity mode, a phenomenon that have been reported in several independent photoluminescence experiments in semiconductor microcavities [2, 3, 4]. We also highlight that hybrid light-matter exceptional points and bound states in the continuum can be realized within this model.
