Abstract

We consider the effect of light decoherence in a Fabri-Perot (FP) microcavity. We show that, when present, it may significantly change its linear response to the incident light.The optical properties of the bounding mirrors are described using the classical electrodynamics, and the light scattering causing the phase breaking is treated as a multichannel scattering problem employing a model introduced by Büttiker to describe dephasing in electron transport. We show that the dephasing causes a gradual erosion of the cavity photon mode and thus impedes the formation of molecular polaritons. Consequently, the polaritons signatures in the transmission and absorption optical spectra of the microcavity are fading away as the scattering intensifies.
