Selective Electrical Tuning of Triple-Mode Strong Exciton–Plasmon Coupling in a WS2/J-Aggregates/Au@Ag Heterocavity

Active control of multi-mode light–matter interactions is crucial for advancing quantum photonic technologies. Although triple-mode plasmon–exciton systems involving two distinct excitonic transitions offer a pathway to multi-level polaritonic states, achieving reversible electrical tuning at room temperature remains challenging. Here, we numerically investigate an electrically tunable triple-mode strong-coupling system comprising a J-aggregate-coated Au@Ag nanorod coupled with monolayer WS2. The simulated spectra show a UPB–LPB energy separation of approximately 239 meV near the zero-detuning condition. A modest gate voltage (2.0 V to 3.8 V) selectively modulates the middle and lower polariton branches over ∼46 meV, while the upper branch remains largely unaffected. This selective control is elucidated via a triple-mode coupled-oscillator model and Hopfield coefficient analysis, linking the polariton response to the excitonic composition. These results establish a framework for electrically reconfigurable multi-level polaritonic devices, offering potential for ultracompact optical modulators, high-sensitivity multiplexed sensors, and programmable quantum photonic circuits.
