Utilizing plasmonics of metal nanoparticles to locally excite organic semiconductors is promising with respect to transfer energy from a defined starting point over longer distances. Two-photon photoemission electron microscopy (2P-PEEM) enables observation of near-fields with high lateral resolution due to the increased photoemission yield. With excitation spectroscopy we show that the particles can be addressed individually by their distinct plasmonic properties [1]. This results in an enhanced excitation of both, the substrate and nearby organic structures. The coupling to the substrate was studied by analyzing the occurring surface photovoltage (SPV) on Si(100)-(2x1). The distance dependence from the particles reveals an enhanced plasmon induced charge carrier density in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. For tetracene nanostructures we observe a plasmonically assisted local triplet exciton density. We do not observe clear migration in these small structures, which we attribute to inhomogeneities of the molecule aggregate [2]. Therefore, we present first measurements on larger, solution grown tetracene microcrystals.
