Coupling, lifetimes and "strong coupling" maps for single molecules at plasmonic interfaces

Monosij Mondal, Maicol A. Ochoa, Maxim Sukharev +1

The interaction between excited states of a molecule and excited states of metal nanostructure (e.g. plasmons) leads to hybrid states with modified optical properties. When plasmon…
