The transport of excitation energy in molecular aggregates is of crucial importance for the
function of organic optoelectronic devices and next‐generation solar cells. First, this review …

Photosynthesis begins when a network of pigment–protein complexes captures solar energy
and transports it to the reaction center, where charge separation occurs. When necessary …

Strong exciton–photon coupling is the result of a reversible exchange of energy between an
excited state and a confined optical field. This results in the formation of polariton states that …

Nature's highly efficient light-harvesting antennae, such as those found in green sulfur
bacteria, consist of supramolecular building blocks that self-assemble into a hierarchy of …

Chlorosomes are light-harvesting antennae that enable exceptionally efficient light energy
capture and excitation transfer. They are found in certain photosynthetic bacteria, some of …

Chlorosomes from green bacteria perform the most efficient light capture and energy
transfer, as observed among natural light-harvesting antennae. Hence, their unique …

Chlorosomes are supramolecular aggregates that contain thousands of bacteriochlorophyll
molecules. They perform the most efficient ultrafast excitation energy transfer of all natural …

Among all photosynthetic organisms, green bacteria have evolved one of the most efficient
light-harvesting antenna, the chlorosome, that contains hundreds of thousands of …

A formula for an anisotropic dissymmetry factor g evaluating the chiroptical response of
orientationally fixed molecules is derived. Incorporating zeroth-and first-order multipole …

Fluorescence polarization is widely used to assess the orientation/rotation of molecules, and
the excitation energy transfer between closely located chromophores. Emerging since the …
