Cooperative bi-exponential decay of dye emission coupled via plasmons (open access)

Cooperative bi-exponential decay of dye emission coupled via plasmons

This article demonstrates that the relaxation in the sub-radiant system leads to the population of the sub-radiant states by dephasing the super-radiant Dicke states giving rise to the bi-exponential decay in agreement with the experiments.
