We have studied dispersion of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in the Kretcshmann’s geometry (prism/Ag/dye-doped polymer) in weak, intermediate, and ultra-strong exciton-plasmon coupling regimes. The dispersion curves obtained in the reflection experiment, were in a good agreement with the simple model predictions at small concentrations of dye (Rh590 and Rh610) in the polymer (PMMA). At the same time, a highly unusual multi-segment ladder-like dispersion curves were observed at extra-large dye concentrations. The dispersion curves observed in polymers co-doped with two dyes (Rh590 and Rh610) suggest strong coupling of excitons in the Kretchmann’s geometry.
