Coupling phenomena in metal organic hybrid structures enable unique possibilities to tune the properties of opto-electronic devices. Furthermore, the strong coupling between surface plasmons and excitons in organic semiconductors leads to novel hybrid states, which are termed plexcitons[1]. By means of a Kretschmann Set Up we investigate these plexcitonic states in oriented liquid crystalline perylene bisimide (PBI) thin films deposited via off-centered spin coating on gold surfaces which exhibiting J-type coupling [2]. The Alignment of the hydrogen-bonded PBI molecules and, thus, their transition dipoles results in long-range ordered films with a pronounced spatially anisotropy of structural and optical characteristics. These new states show a characteristic coupling strength of ≈27 meV. Understanding this directional correlation between molecular order and optical properties will enable new device concepts utilizing the presented opto-electronic directionality.
