Experimental and simulation studies of strong coupling between Frenkel excitons and surface plasmon

Abstract

We present experimental and simulation studies of the strong coupling (SC) between a collection of identical Frenkel excitons and the surface plasmon (SP). We introduced a novel organic material to observe experimentally the SC regime. We demonstrate that the behaviour of the SC regime can be simulated by dipole sources in the simulation model to imitate the Frenkel excitons. The simulation model demonstrated a close match to the experimental observation, indicating the applicability of the proposed model.
