In this article, we present an experimental investigation on the dependence of coupling strength on the geometrical size of the nanoparticle. The coupling strength for differently sized hybrid plasmon-core exciton-shell nanorods was extracted from the typical resonance anticrossing of these systems, obtained by controlled modification of the environment permittivity using layer-by-layer deposition of polyelectrolytes. The observed size dependence of the coupling strength can be explained by a simple model approximating the electromagnetic mode volume by the geometrical volume of the particle. On the basis of this model, the coupling strength for particles of arbitrary size can be predicted, including the particle size necessary to support single-emitter strong coupling.}, language = {en} } @misc{SteteSchossauKoopmanetal.2018, author = {Stete, Felix and Schossau, Phillip Gerald and Koopman, Wouter-Willem Adriaan and Bargheer, Matias}, title = {Size Dependence of the Coupling Strength in Plasmon-Exciton Nanoparticles}, series = {Quantum Nano-Photonics}, journal = {Quantum Nano-Photonics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, isbn = {978-94-024-1546-9}, issn = {1871-465X}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-024-1544-5_26}, pages = {381 -- 383}, year = {2018}, 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-).}, language = {en} }
