| contents | Strong light-matter coupling gives rise to polaritons -- quasiparticles that combine both photonic and material characteristics. Here, we show that polar nanocrystals exhibit structure- and environment-dependent Raman scattering, enabled by their hybrid phonon polariton nature. Such dispersive behavior enables refractive index sensing in the mid-infrared range via visible-wavelength inelastic spectroscopy and draws parallels with molecular systems under vibrational strong coupling. Crucially, Raman scattering appears only under nanoscale confinement of phonon polaritons. For optimal structures, this leads to self-hybridization between localized phonon modes and surface phonon polaritons hosted by the same nanoparticle. |
