Abstract
The interaction of plasmonic whispering gallery modes (WGM) on the
surface of silver nanospheres with an exciton of the surrounding organic medium
has been theoretically studied. DPAVBi (4,4'-bis[4-(di-ptolylamino)
styryl]biphenyl) was selected as an organic material due to its high
oscillator strength. The results show that for spheres of sufficiently large radii,
several plasmon modes can be localized on their surface at once, which makes
them possible for strong coupling with an exciton. The calculated spectra confirm
that plasmon modes can effectively interact with excitons in the surrounding
organic material, which leads to a significant change in both the absorption and
emission characteristics of the system. These observations highlight the potential
of such hybrid systems for a number of applications in optoelectronics and
photonics, making them a promising platform for further research in this area.
