Chitosan was used as a protective matrix for the photosensitive dye-squaraine (2,4-bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]cyclobutane-1,3-diol). The physicochemical properties of the obtained systems, both in solution and in a solid-state, were investigated. However, it was found that diluted chitosan solutions with a few percent additions of dye show an intense fluorescence, which is suppressed in the solid-state. This is related to the morphology of the heterogeneous modified chitosan films. The important advantage of using a biopolymer matrix is the prevention of dye degradation under the influence of high energy ultraviolet (UV) radiation while the dye presence improves the chitosan heat resistance. It is caused by mutual interactions between macromolecules and dye. Owing to the protective action of chitosan, the dye release in liquid medium is limited. Chitosan solutions with a few percent additions of squaraine can be used in biomedical imaging thanks to the ability to emit light, while chitosan films can be protective coatings resistant to high temperatures and UV radiation.

Molecular J-aggregates are widely used as emitters to achieve the quantum effects, such as the strong coupling phenomenon. We investigate the lateral shift splitting/Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift splitting induced by strong coupling in Kretschmann configuration involving molecular J-aggregates by using classical methods. The optical response of molecular J-aggregates is modeled by a single Lorentzian oscillator, and Fresnel equations and the stationary phase method are employed to solve our proposed structure. Our results show that the lateral shift versus the incident wavelength shows Rabi splitting-like line shape and the reflection spectrum exhibits the strong coupling phenomenon. Based on the results of the previous experiment work, we well explain the relation between Rabi splitting and the thickness of the metal film and provide a new method to choose the parameters of the structure for experiment.
