Abstract
Understanding the physics of light emitter in quantum nanostructure regarding scalability, geometry, structure of the system and coupling between different degrees of freedom is important as one can improve the design and further provide controls of quantum devices rigorously. The couplings between these degrees of freedom, in general, depends on the external field, the geometry of nano particles, and the experimental design. An effective model is proposed to describe the plasmon-exciton hybrid systems and its optical absorption spectrums are studied in details by exact diagonalization. Two different designs are discussed: nano particle planet surrounded by quantum dot satellites and quantum dot planet surrounded by nano particle satellites. In both setups, details of many quantum dots and nano particles are studied, and the spectrums are discussed in details regarding the energy of transition peaks and the weight distribution of allowed transition peaks. Also, different polarization of external fields are considered which results in anisotropic couplings, and the absorption spectrums clearly reveal the difference qualitatively. Finally, the system will undergo a phase transition in the presence of attractive interaction between excitons. Our work sheds the light on the design of nano scale quantum systems to achieve photon emitter/resonator theory in the plasmon-exciton hybrid systems.
