Coupling between semiconductor quantum dots and two-dimensional surface plasmons

چکیده
When CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots QDs are dispersed onto a two-dimensional 2D textured Ag grating, their luminescent behavior is dramatically modified. Excited QDs can resonantly excite surface plasmon polaritons SPPs propagating along the modulated metallic surface. The measurements of PL spectra and time-resolved PL spectra clearly indicate the interaction between QDs and 2D SPPs. The electromagnetic interaction between QDs and the 2D corrugated metal surface makes the luminescence be enhanced, polarized, and well directed.

Manipulating Nonlinear Emission and Cooperative Effect of CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots by Coupling to a Silver Nanorod Complex Cavity
Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots have three-dimensional confined excitons with large optical oscillator strength and gain. The surface plasmons of metallic nanostructures offer an efficient tool to enhance exciton-exciton coupling and excitation energy transfer at appropriate geometric arrangement. Here, we report plasmon-mediated cooperative emissions of approximately one monolayer of ense...
متن کاملTheory of strong coupling between quantum emitters and propagating surface plasmons.
Here we present the theoretical foundation of the strong coupling phenomenon between quantum emitters and propagating surface plasmons observed in two-dimensional metal surfaces. For that purpose, we develop a quantum framework that accounts for the coherent coupling between emitters and surface plasmons and incorporates the presence of dissipation and dephasing. Our formalism is able to reveal...
متن کاملScattering of nanowire surface plasmons coupled to quantum dots with azimuthal angle difference
Coherent scatterings of surface plasmons coupled to quantun dots have attracted great attention in plasmonics. Recently, an experiment has shown that the quantum dots located nearby a nanowire can be separated not only in distance, but also an angle ϕ along the cylindrical direction. Here, by using the real-space Hamiltonian and the transfer matrix method, we analytically obtain the transmissio...

We present investigations of the propagation length of guided surface plasmon polaritons along Au waveguides on GaAs and their coupling to near surface InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots. Our results reveal surface plasmon propagation lengths ranging from 13.4 ± 1.7 μm to 27.5 ± 1.5 μm as the width of the waveguide increases from 2-5 μm. Experiments performed on active structures containing nea...

Generating entangled states is a vital ingredient for quantum information engineering. Here, we investigate the entanglement generation between two quantum dots coupled to nanoring surface plasmons with asymmetric coupling strength g(1) and g(2). The dynamics of concurrence C is obtained by solving the corresponding master equation. High entanglement can be generated at appropriate times throug...
