Suppressing non-radiative decay of photochromic organic molecular systems in the strong coupling regime — •Markus Kowalewski and Rafael C. Cuoto — Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden

Organic solar cells and related optoelectronic applications rely on molecules with long-lived electronic states. Non-radiative decay channels, which are caused, for example, by non-adiabatic processes in the molecule can have a significant impact on the efficiency of the these devices. More favorable lifetimes are in practiced, achieved by chemical substitution of particular base compound.

In this contribution, we investigate meso-tert-butyl-BODIPY, which is known to for its low fluorescence yield, caused by the non-radiative decay through a conical intersection [1]. We show theoretically that strong light-matter coupling by means of an optical nano-cavity may be used to modify the excited state lifetime.
