摘要

Abstract

Effective interactions between excitons and resonating nanocavities are important for many emerging applications in nanophotonics. Although plasmonic nanocavities are considered promising substitutes for diffraction-limited dielectric microcavities

their practical applications are hindered by large ohmic loss and Joule heating. Other than plasmonic materials

high-refractive-index dielectric nanocavities is a new way to trap light in subwavelength scales. However

studies on the interaction between dielectric nanocavities and excitons are still scarce. Here

for the first time

we demonstrate that the Fano interference between molecular excitons and an individual silicon nanogroove can generate scattering dark modes. By placing J-aggregate excitons into a silicon nanogroove

the leaky magnetic resonant modes filling in the groove can tailor their scattering directivity and reduce the uncoupled radiation decay in a specific direction. This unidirectional 'dark state' brings a new approach to tailor the interaction between excitons and nanocavities without large near-field enhancement. By adjusting the resonant modes

the scattering spectra can change from a Fano asymmetric line shape to a significantly suppressed scattering dip. These findings indicate that silicon nanogrooves can provide a platform for integrated on-chip silicon–exciton hybrid optical systems in the future.
