At increased coupling strength A 0 = 0.02 a.u., the character of the second polaritonic state (originally CT 1 ) becomes mixed with the descendingin-energy polaritonic state largely composed of the original ψ 5 exciton (L) which exhibited a ππ * excitation localized to the left arm. At A 0 = 0.02 a.u., the CT 1 state and the descending polaritonic state are fully mixed which localizes the transition density (Fig. ) to the left arm. The NTOs (Fig. ) show that the hole is largely unperturbed by the nearby polariton due to the shared hole charac- ). At zero coupling strength, the second excited polaritonic transition corresponds to the CT 1 state and is tracked by the arrows in panel a for different coupling strengths and labeled by its character in panels (g-i). The isovalue for the transition densities and NTOs were chosen to be 0.001 and 0.02, respectively. The absorption spectra was broadened with a Lorentzian distribution with width σ = 0.1 eV.
