  abstract  = {The electromagnetic coupling of molecular excitations to plasmonic nanoparticles offers a promising method to manipulate the light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. Plasmonic nanoparticles foster exceptionally high coupling strengths, due to their capacity to strongly concentrate the light-field to sub-wavelength mode volumes. A particularly interesting coupling regime occurs, if the coupling increases to a level such that the coupling strength surpasses all damping rates in the system. In this so-called strong-coupling regime hybrid light-matter states emerge, which can no more be divided into separate light and matter components. These hybrids unite the features of the original components and possess new resonances whose positions are separated by the Rabi splitting energy h Omega. Detuning the resonance of one of the components leads to an anticrossing of the two arising branches of the new resonances omega(+) and omega(-) with a minimal separation of Omega = omega(+) - omega(-).},

  abstract  = {The coupling between molecular excitations and nanoparticles leads to promising applications. It is for example used to enhance the optical cross-section of molecules in surface enhanced Raman scattering, Purcell enhancement or plasmon enhanced dye lasers. In a coupled system new resonances emerge resulting from the original plasmon (ωpl) and exciton (ωex) resonances as ω±=12(ωpl+ωex)±14(ωpl-ωex)2+g2---------------√, (1) where g is the coupling parameter. Hence, the new resonances show a separation of Δ = ω+ - ω- from which the coupling strength can be deduced from the minimum distance between the two resonances, Ω = Δ(ω+ = ω-).},
