Abstract
Scattering properties of a single plasmon interacting with three non-equally spaced two-level quantum dots (QDs) and a V-type three-level QD, coupled to 1D surface plasmonic waveguide, respectively, are investigated theoretically via the real-space approach. It is demonstrated that the transmission and reflection of a single plasmon can be switched on or off by controlling the detuning and changing the interparticle distances between the QDs. By controlling the transition frequencies and interparticle distances of QDs, one can construct a half-transmitting mirror with a three-QD system. We also showed that the transmission spectra of a single plasmon interacting with a two-level QD and a V-type three-level QD are quite the same as those with three two-level QDs when the spacing between the two-level QD and the V-type three-level QD is equal to the spacing between two-level QDs in the three two-level QD system.
