Abstract

We have studied the optical properties of a hybrid system consisting of cyanine dye J-aggregates attached to a spherical microcavity. A periodic structure of narrow peaks was observed in the photoluminescence spectrum of the J-aggregates, arising from the coupling between the emission of J-aggregates and the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of the microcavity. The most striking result of our study is the observation of polarization sensitive mode damping caused by re-absorption of J-aggregate emission. This effect manifests itself in dominating emission from TM modes in the spectral region of J-aggregates absorption band where the TE modes are strongly suppressed. In contrast, the TE modes totally dominate emission spectrum in the region where absorption is negligible. We also demonstrate that the emission intensity can be further enhanced by depositing a hybrid layer of J-aggregates and Ag nanoparticles onto the spherical microcavity. Owing to the concerted action of WGMs and plasmonic hot spots in the Ag aggregates, we observe an enhanced Raman signal from the J-aggregates. Microcavities covered by J-aggregates and plasmonic nanoparticles could be thus useful for a variety of photonic applications in basic science and technology.

SEM image of part of 11.93 µm MF microsphere with PE spacer and shell of J-aggregates (a) and PL life time histograms detected from whole microsphere (b), from the rim of the microsphere (c) and from the central part of the microsphere (d). Inserts show corresponding scanning confocal FLIM images.

Room-temperature PL spectrum from single MF microsphere covered by monolayer of J-aggregates. Inserts show the results of mode identification using Eq. (2). Green and red squares indicate TM and TE modes of first order, respectively. Blue squares indicate TE modes of second order. As the dispersion of refractive index of MF is not known, the angular mode numbers are determined with accuracy ± 1. The ratio between T E 96 1 peak intensity and background emission is 1.5.

Micro-PL spectra taken from a single MF microsphere covered with Ag NPs and adsorbed J-aggregates (1) and from a microsphere with shell of J-aggregates alone (2). The insert shows Raman spectra taken with higher resolution (1 cm−1) from a single microsphere covered with Ag NPs and adsorbed J-aggregates (3) and from a glass slide with Ag NPs and J-aggregates (4). The Raman spectra were measured in the wavelengths region between 540 and 585 nm. Because of the better spectral resolution one can see that the peaks centered at 569.4 nm 573.8 nm (curve 1) consist of two and three closely spaced peaks, respectively (curves 3 and 4).
