Title: Polariton Formation from Soret Band Excitons in Metal–Organic Frameworks and Plasmonic Lattices

Abstract

This Letter describes strong coupling between a plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) lattice cavity and Soret excitons in a metal–organic framework (MOF) film. In optical transmission measurements, we observed a lower polariton mode that can be spectrally tuned by infiltrating MOF pores with solvents of different refractive index. Using transient absorption spectroscopy, both the lower and upper polariton modes can be resolved, with an estimated Rabi splitting of ~300 meV, nearly twice that of other plasmonic cavity–organic emitter systems. The polariton modes decay more rapidly than that of the uncoupled exciton. Furthermore, this hybrid system highlights the advantages of open plasmonic cavities for tunable coupling and the use of transient absorption spectroscopy to identify polariton modes.
