Plasmon-induced coherence, exciton-induced transparency and Fano interference for hybrid plasmonic systems in strong coupling regime
arXiv:2112.12363 · doi:10.1063/5.0083197
Abstract
We present an analytical model describing the transition to strong coupling regime for an ensemble of emitters resonantly coupled to a localized surface plasmon in a metal-dielectric structure. The response of a hybrid system to an external field is determined by two distinct mechanisms involving collective states of emitters interacting with the plasmon mode. First is the near-field coupling between the bright collective state and the plasmon mode which underpins energy exchange between the system components and gives rise to exciton-induced transparency minimum in scattering spectra in the weak coupling regime and to emergence of polaritonic bands as the system transitions to strong coupling regime. The second mechanism is the Fano interference between the plasmon dipole moment and plasmon-induced dipole moment of bright collective state as the hybrid system interacts with the radiation field. The latter mechanism is greatly facilitated by plasmon-induced coherence in a system with characteristic size below the diffraction limit as the individual emitters comprising the collective state are driven by same alternating plasmon near field and therefore all oscillate in phase. This cooperative effect leads to scaling of the Fano asymmetry parameter and of the Fano function amplitude with the ensemble size and therefore it strongly affects the shape of scattering spectra for large ensembles. Specifically, with increasing emitters numbers, the Fano interference leads to a spectral weight shift towards the lower energy polaritonic band.
