Ultrafast Energy Transfer Between Molecular Assemblies and Surface Plasmons in Hybrid Nano-Materials in the Strong Coupling Regime

The self-consistent model of coupled Maxwell-Liouville-von Neumann equations is used to scrutinize nonlinear dynamics of nano-materials comprised of interacting quantum emitters and plasmons. It is shown that ultra-short resonant laser pulses significantly modify optical properties of such hybrid systems. It is demonstrated that the energy transfer between interacting molecules and plasmons occurs on a femtosecond time scale. This energy transfer can be controlled with both materials parameters and laser radiation.
