The fitted rate constants in Fig. have a more complicated dependence on λ D than those in Fig. . As demonstrated previously in Fig. , the spectral gap between the UP and dark states for √ Ng c = 150 meV is small enough that the transfer rate to dark states is significant and the acceptor populations are more sensitive to differences in λ D . This is observed in the Q = ∞ rate constants in Fig. where increasing λ D up to 50 meV can reduce the rate constants by up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to λ D = 0. Regardless, the fitted rate constants are still significantly larger than those outside the cavity even for λ D = 50 meV. When Q is decreased and the cavity loss rate increases, one might expect the fitted rate constants to monotonically decrease as well due to the extra loss channel from the UP to |G, 0⟩. However, the largest fitted rates for λ D = 20 meV and λ D = 50 meV are not found at Q = ∞ but instead at much smaller, finite values of Q (Q = 50 for λ D = 20 meV and Q = 20 for λ D = 50 meV). This surprising result can be understood by recognizing that for λ D > 0, the dark states are dynamically disordered which causes them to gain some non-zero photonic character. This photonic character causes the dark states to directly experience cavity loss, which transfers the population from the dark states to |G, 0⟩. With the CW laser tuned to the UP, this population that previously was in the dark states can then be pumped back to the UP which can then experience enhanced transfer to the acceptor states. In other words, the cavity loss experienced by the disordered dark states allows the population previously trapped in these dark states (for Q = ∞) to be recycled back into the UP. This mechanism allows for the effective forward rate constant for smaller values of Q to be significantly larger than expected based on the Q dependence seen in λ D = 0 and, in some cases, even be larger than the rate constants for Q = ∞. This is a promising result for realizing enhanced PMET experimentally since the Q < 1000 attained in many current cavity designs may not be a significant hindrance.
