Configuration Resonance and Generation Rate of Surface Plasmon Polaritons Excited by Semiconductor Quantum Dots near a Metal Surface

AbstractWe discuss particular features of generation of surface plasmon polaritons in a metal–dielectric planar interface that is coupled to semiconductor quantum dots by near-field interactions. As a model of working medium for performing numerical experiment, we use a gold metal surface onto which a polyethylene terephthalate film containing CdSe semiconductor spherical quantum dot is deposited. The problem of optimizing the radius of a quantum dot and its distance to a metal surface is solved for achieving the maximum transfer efficiency of the quantum dot energy for the generation of surface plasmon polaritons. Dispersion effects of the surface wave generation rate associated with deviations of the radius of quantum dots and their distance to the metal surface from the corresponding average values are taken into account.

Plasmon Polaritons

As the fundamental and promising branch of nanophotonics, surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) with the ability of manipulating the electromagnetic field on the subwavelength scale are of interest to a wide spectrum of scientists. Composed of metallic or dielectric structures whose shape and position are carefully engineered on the metal surface, traditional SPP devices are generally static and lack tunability. Dynamical manipulation of SPP is meaningful in both fundamental research and practical applications. In this article, the achievements in dynamical SPP excitation, SPP focusing, SPP vortex, and SPP nondiffracting beams are presented. The mechanisms of dynamical SPP devices are revealed and compared, and future perspectives are discussed.
