Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Strong light-matter interactions have received a lot of attention, for example in the pursuit of plasmonic-excitonic structures as coherent light sources with low-power threshold. In this study, we investigate the influence of room temperature strong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and excitons on fluorescence lifetimes and photobleaching effects. Our plasmonic-photonic structure, comprising of thin silver (Ag) and gold (Au) layers with a Rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye layer, shows a clear shift in the plasmon resonance and R6G absorption lines with varying incident angles, indicative of strong coupling, with a measured Rabi splitting of approximately 90 meV. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) was then employed to assess photobleaching, revealing a significant reduction in photobleaching effect for in strongly coupled plasmonic-excitonic structures compared to single Rhodamine R6G layers. Our findings indicate the pivotal role of strong light-matter interactions in reducing photobleaching effects and stabilizing fluorescence intensities, offering promising avenues for developing quantum multiparticle nanophotonic devices with enhanced stability and performance.
