We have performed femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy on cyanine based molecular J-aggregates covering the surface of gold nanorods. By changing the aspect ratio of the rods or choosing J-aggregates with different HOMO-LUMO transition energies, the coupling between excitonic and plasmonic resonances can be tuned and controlled. We have analyzed the nonlinear optical responses of purely excitonic, purely plasmonic and hybrid excitonic-plasmonic transitions. The transient behavior of the absorption changes at the hybrid transition frequencies gives further insight into coupling mechanisms between excitons and plasmons.
