Fig. 2. Photobleaching as a function of Rabi splitting.

Fig. 2

(A to E) Evolution of the DF scattering spectra of strongly coupled hybrid systems with different initial Rabi splitting energies of 209, 200, 188, 170, and 154 meV, respectively. Insets show the corresponding SEM images of the plasmonic silver nanoprisms. Scale bars, 100 nm. (F) Uncoupled J-aggregates as a function of irradiation/bleaching time under broadband excitation. (G) Photobleaching kinetics for the strongly coupled hybrid systems with different Rabi splitting energies of 209 meV (red), 200 meV (brown), 188 meV (violet), 170 meV (green), and 154 meV (blue), compared to the uncoupled bare J aggregates (orange). (H) Photobleaching rates for hybrid systems versus uncoupled J-aggregates as a function of Rabi splitting energy. The inset shows a zoomed-in plot of the photobleaching rates for the coupled systems.
