Abstract
We have studied dispersion of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in the Kretcshmann’s geometry (prism/Ag/dye-doped polymer) in weak and strong exciton-plasmon coupling regimes. In reflection, the dispersion curves were in a good agreement with simple model predictions at small concentrations of the dye (R6G) in the polymer (PMMA). At the same time, highly unusual multi-segment ladder-like dispersion curves were observed at large dye concentrations. To describe this behavior, we upgraded the theoretical model taking into account strong exciton-plasmon coupling. The dispersion curves obtained in emission experiments were strongly different from those in reflection and did not seem to be affected by the strong coupling.
