Studying dipole moment modification in a single fluorescent dye beside metallic Nano-Particle based on the Green's function theory

摘要

Enhancement of dipolar scattering can be achieved by locating the emitting dipole near a resonant nanosphere. In this study the dipole represents a fluorescent dye or an emitting quantum dot, and the nanosphere exhibits a plasmonic resonance at optical frequencies. It has been shown several times that a dipole excitation and emission can be greatly affected by the presence of a nanosphere at nanomener distance. This was considered for example in (J. Gersten, A. Nitzan, J. Chem. Phys. 73(7), 1980) in the case of Raman scattering, and in many other experimental works.
