| Popis: | We report the first experimental observation of an excitonic optical Tamm state supported at the interface between a periodic multilayer dielectric structure and an organic dye-doped polymer layer. The existence of such states is enabledby the metal-like optical properties of the excitonic layer based on aggregated dye molecules. Experimentally determined dispersion curves, together with simulated data, including field profiles, allow us to identify the nature of these new modes. Our results demonstrate the potential of organic excitonic materials as a powerful means to control light at the nanoscale, off ering the prospect of a new alternative photonic building block for nanophotonics designs based on molecular materials. |
