摘要
A theoretical study of transmittivity of an ultrathin film (of thickness smaller than an optical wavelength) comprized of linear molecular aggregates is carried out. We report on an abrupt change of transmittivity of the film at a certain magnitude of the incident field. The effect originates from the coupling of aggregates via the emitting field. Estimates of driving parameters show that such well-studied objects as J-aggregates of polymethine dyes provide a real basis to realize it, (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
