As a consequence the aggregate possesses strikingly different optical properties compared with the individual molecules. <\/p><p>In this talk I will discuss the superradiant emission of organic molecules arranged on dielectric surfaces.\u00a0 A particular focus is on the relation between the temperature dependence and the underlying eigenfunctions of the aggregate [1].\u00a0 Knowledge about these eigenfunctions is not only important to understand the optical properties but also for the transfer characteristics of the aggregates. Optical spectroscopy, in principle, allows one to infer information about these eigenstates and the interactions between the molecules. However, traditional optical techniques using an electromagnetic field which is uniform over the relevant size of the aggregate cannot access most of the excited states because of selection rules. We demonstrate that one can obtain information about these otherwise inaccessible states by using localized fields. As an example, we discuss in detail the case of local excitation via radiation from the apex of a metallic tip, which allows also scanning across the aggregate. The resulting spatially resolved spectra provide extensive information ABOUT the eigenenergies and wave functions [2,3].<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>[1] Eisfeld, et al,\u00a0 Phys Rev.
