Definition
The optical properties of quantum system including atoms, molecules, and quantum dots can be drastically modified by a metallic particle through surface plasmon resonance effect.
The presence of plasmonic metallic particle (MP) can affect the optical properties of a quantum system (QS) in a remarkable way. The mechanism here is the mutual effect of polarizations similar to the induced dipole moment through dipole-dipole interactions. This mechanism should be contrasted from the quantum electrodynamic effect due to the presence of boundaries such as cavity mirrors or microstructures that alter the electromagnetic density of states of the quantum vacuum. We develop a general quantum nonlinear formalism with exact vectorial description for the scattered photons by the QS. The formalism enables us to study the variations of the dielectric function and photon spectrum of the QS with the particle distance between QS and...
