When a metamaterial (MM) is embedded in a one-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) cavity, the ultra-strong coupling between the MM plasmons and the photons in the PC cavity gives rise to two new polariton modes with high quality factor. Here, we investigate by simulations whether such a strongly coupled system working in the terahertz (THz) frequency range has the potential to be a better sensor than a MM (or a PC cavity) alone. Somewhat surprisingly, one finds that the shift of the resonance frequency induced by an analyte appl
