Long-range resonance energy transfer (RET) and the control of energy transfer on the nanoscale have received considerable attention both experimentally and theoretically during the past few decades. We have investigated the RET between a donor/acceptor pair in the nanocavities based on our previous theory developed in the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics (QED). On the basis of this theory, the enhancements in the RET with respect to the rate in vacuum were evaluated for a Fabry–Pérot cavity. When the displacement vector between the two molecules is aligned with the cavity axis of the Fabry–Pérot cavity, we find that cavity modes give enhancements of less than a factor of 10 due to the interference between contributions from resonant and non-resonant cavity modes. By comparison, when the displacement vector between the two molecules is aligned in a plane perpendicular to the cavity axis, we find that the cavity modes can induce enhancements of more than a factor of 10, and the surface plasmon-polariton modes can induce enhancements of up to a factor of 300. We develop a convenient representation for understanding the effect of the displacement vector between the molecules and of the molecular dipole directions in terms of the H-dimer and J-dimer properties. To further enhance the RET, we propose a square silver cavity that gives a rate enhancement of a factor of 280 under cavity resonance conditions, which provides important insight into developing devices capable of long-range RET.

“…In addition to LDOS measurements, measuring the cross spectral density of states (CDOS) (Cazé et al, 2013), which describes mode connectivity in structured media and could be obtained from coherence measurements on the light emitted from two classical or quantum dipole sources (Canaguier-Durand et al, 2019), may bring precious additional information. First CDOS measurements have recently been realized in the microwave regime (Rustomji et al, 2021).…”

In this study, we present the superradiance effects of N identical molecular emitters inside Fabry–Pérot (FP) cavity systems in the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. The proposed theory can estimate the enhancement of spontaneous emission rates, including the effects of cavity geometry and material dielectric properties. Moreover, our study connects the multichromophoric excitation energy transfer theory and the Tavis–Cummings model via identical cooperative decay rates and dipole–dipole shifts. For molecules resonant with the cavity photon mode, we find that the enhancement is not exactly proportional to N even in a perfect FP cavity due to the effects of electrostatic dipole–dipole interactions. Moreover, in a silver FP cavity, our simulation shows that the enhancement saturates for a large N, indicating that the cavity photon mode can lead to only the collective emission of a limited number of molecules. For molecules in the proximity of the silver mirror, we demonstrate that under specific conditions, the subradiance of molecular emitters can occur through surface plasmon polaritons. Our study not only provides new insights into the mechanism of superradiance effects but also demonstrates that collective effects such as superradiance and subradiance can be controlled by manipulating the dielectric environments.
