Dear group,
Tomorrow I will talk about a challenging (and crazy) idea involving organic
molecular aggregates, optical cavities and coherent nonlinear optics. In
particular we are trying to exploit the recently demonstrated strong
coupling of organic media to the electromagnetic field of an optical
microcavity, plus the strong dipole-dipole interaction between polar
chromophores in order to identify conditions under which simple AMO
phenomena including electromagnetically-induced transparency could be
observed in near future experiments.
I will spend a significant fraction of the talk providing a minimal
background for those of you working in orthogonal problems. Then I will
discuss a simple model introduced to qualitatively understand the nonlinear
response of an organic microcavity and ask for your participation regarding
the best way to numerically test the validity of the model in this complex
system.
See you there,
Felipe
