The main emphasis is placed on studying the effect of splitting of the dye J-band into two excitonic resonances of the outer shell and its influence on the behavior of the light absorption spectra of such metal–organic nanoparticles. For the dyes under study, the splitting energies of such resonances reach approximately 100–150 meV, which significantly exceeds their width. Splitting the dye J-band into two spectral peaks is a natural consequence of the presence of internal and external boundaries of the organic shell of the metal/J-aggregate particle.

The essence of the method is the mathematical processing of diffraction patterns produced by an object placed in a coherent beam. In this case, focusing optical elements and systems are not used. The set of necessary components can be reduced to a source of coherent radiation, a matrix receiver, and a computer that performs numerical calculations. This eliminates the need for expensive optical instruments. Moreover, CI characterizes the object not only by the modulus of the field of the transmitted wave, but also by its phase. These obvious advantages stimulate research and engineering efforts aimed at improving the method and facilitating its practical application. It is shown that the paraxial approach allows the CI method to be applied not only to plane waves incident on a sample, but also to coherent probing beams of arbitrary transverse structure.
