• Abstract: Spectroscopic signatures associated with symmetric Lorentzian and asymmetric Fano line shapes are ubiquitous. Distinct features of Fano resonances in contrast with conventional symmetric resonances have found several applications in photonics such as optical switching, sensing, lasing, and nonlinear and slow-light devices. Therefore, it is important to have control over the generation of these resonances. In this work, we show through ab initio simulations of coupled light-matter systems that Fano interference phenomena can be realized in a multimode photonic environment by strong coupling to the electromagnetic continuum. Specifically, we show that by effectively enhancing the light-matter coupling strength to the photon continuum in an experimentally feasible way, we can achieve a transition from Lorentzian to Fano lines shapes for both electronic and polaritonic excitations. An important outcome of switching between these spectral signatures is the possibility to control the Purcell enhancement of spontaneous emission alongside electromagnetically induced transparency which is a special case of Fano resonances. Switching from Fano back to a Lorentzian profile can be achieved by physically reducing the coupling strength to the continuum of modes. Our results hold potential for realizing tunable Fano resonances of molecules and materials interacting with the electromagnetic continuum within multimode photonic environments.
