Quantum-dot-induced transparency in a nanoscale plasmonic resonator
Optics Express – Quantum-dot-induced transparency in a nanoscale plasmonic resonator (13 pages) We investigate the near-field optical coupling between a single semiconductor nanocrystal (quantum dot) and a nanometer-scale plasmonic metal resonator using rigorous electrodynamic simulations. Our calculations show that the quantum dot produces a dip in both the extinction and scattering spectra of the surface-plasmon …
