A nonlinear switching mechanism in quantum dot and metallic nanoparticle hybrid systems

Second harmonic generation and two-photon photoluminescence in CdS quantum dots near metallic nanoparticles are theoretically and experimentally investigated. A control laser field is applied to the hybrid system, which couples with the surface plasmons of the metal nanoparticles. The polarized meta...
