Abstract

Metal nanostructures supporting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), confined electromagnetic field modes at the metal-dielectric interface have been shown to posses significant potential for guiding and manipulating light on the nanoscale. The interaction between these localized electromagnetic fields with the emitters in close proximity has led to the emerging and exciting field of active plasmonics. Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled fabrication of high quality semiconductor and metal nanostructures, in which several aspects of light-matter interactions, particularly those in coherent and nonlinear regimes have been demonstrated and studied extensively. This article presents discussion on experimental demonstration of some of the coherent nonlinear effects in metal-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures. Studies have demonstrated that these hybrid nanostructures may open up exciting possibilities in realizing novel all-optical, ultrafast nanoscopic devices, nanoscale lasers, quantum information processing and, single-molecule sensing applications.
