Abstract
In this review article, we discuss the many-body interactions in plasmonic nanohybrids made of an ensemble of quantum emitters and metallic nanoparticles. A theory of the linear and nonlinear optical emission intensity was developed by using the many-body quantum mechanical density matrix method. The ensemble of quantum emitters and metallic nanoparticles interact with each other via the dipole-dipole interaction. Surfaces plasmon polaritons are located near to the surface of the metallic nanoparticles. We showed that the nonlinear Kerr intensity enhances due to the weak dipole-dipole coupling limits. On the other hand, in the strong dipole-dipole coupling limit, the single peak in the Kerr intensity splits into two peaks. The splitting of the Kerr spectrum is due to the creation of dressed states in the plasmonic nanohybrids within the strong dipole-dipole interaction. Further, we found that the Kerr nonlinearity is also enhanced due to the interaction between the surface plasmon polaritons and excitons of the quantum emitters. Next, we predicted the spontaneous decay rates are enhanced due to the dipole-dipole coupling. The enhancement of the Kerr intensity due to the surface plasmon polaritons can be used to fabricate nanosensors. The splitting of one peak (ON) two peaks (OFF) can be used to fabricate the nanoswitches for nanotechnology and nanomedical applications.
