The use of optical cavities to control chemical reactions has been of greatinterest recently, following demonstrations of enhancement, suppression, andnegligible effects on chemical reaction rates depending on the specificreaction and cavity frequency. In this work, we study the reaction rate insideimperfect cavities, where we introduce a broadening parameter in the spectraldensity to mimic Fabry-P\'erot cavities. We investigate cavity modifications toreaction rates using non-Markovian Langevin dynamics with frictional and randomforces to account for the presence of imperfect optical cavities. Wedemonstrate that in the regime of weak solvent and cavity friction, the cavitycan enhance chemical reaction rates. On the other hand, in the high frictionregime, cavities can suppress chemical reactions. Furthermore, we find that thebroadening of the cavity spectral density gives rise to blue shifts of theresonance conditions and, surprisingly, increases the sharpness of theresonance effect.
