+  * Application to light-harvesting complexes:\\ Coles, D. M. et al. Strong coupling between chlorosomes of photosynthetic bacteria and a confined optical cavity mode. Nat. Commun. 5, 5561 (2014)
+    * proof strong coupling between a "large biological system" (conglomerate of photoactive molecule BChl c that form a chlorosome in a very complicated way) to a cavity: despite a large scattering, polaritons form
+    * could be used to make photosynthetic process more efficient
+    * They imagine: "since the density of chlorosomes within the green sulfur bacteria is high, it may be possible to strongly couple a living bacteria to a cavity mode resulting in a ‘living polariton’"
