Ultrafast Reversal of a Fano Resonance in a Plasmon-Exciton System
arXiv:1304.4538 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.88.075411
Abstract
When a two-level quantum dot and a plasmonic metal nanoantenna are resonantly coupled by the electromagnetic near field, the system can exhibit a Fano resonance, resulting in a transparency dip in the optical spectrum of the coupled system. We calculate the nonlinear response of such a system, for illumination both by continuous-wave and ultrafast pulsed lasers, using both a cavity quantum electrodynamics and a semiclassical coupled-oscillator model. For the experimentally relevant case of meV thermal broadening of the quantum-dot transition, we predict that femtosecond pulsed illumination can lead to a reversal of the Fano resonance, with the induced transparency changing into a superscattering spike in the spectrum. This ultrafast reversal is due to a transient change in the phase relationship between the dipoles of the plasmon and the quantum dot. It thus represents a new approach to dynamically control the collective optical properties and coherence of coupled nanoparticle systems.
