Abstract
After Sect. 2.2 in Chap. 2 reviewed the spatial features of the dressed photon (DP), Chap. 3–7 reviewed its temporal features, which enabled analysis of the DP-mediated energy transfer. In the present chapter, the spatial features of the DP are discussed again in order to demonstrate some novel applications. Furthermore, relevant mathematical scientific models are described, and these are effectively used for analyzing the spatial features of the autonomous annihilation and creation of dressed-photon–phonons (DPPs), described in Sects. 6.3, 7.2, and 7.3.

These optical responses can be understood by expressing the spatial distribution of the electronic charges as electric dipoles induced at the apexes of the right triangles under light illumination, as will also be shown in Sect. 8.2. That is, since the two triangles are arranged to face in the same direction in Shape 1, two mutually parallel electric dipoles are induced, as shown in the upper part of Fig. 8.7a. From this pair of parallel electric dipole moments, a large electric field is generated, which is easily detected in the second layer. Thus, parallel electric dipoles correspond to the bright state in Sect. 3.1 of Chap. 3. On the other hand, in Shape 2, the triangles are opposed to each other. Thus, the two induced electric dipoles are in an anti-parallel alignment, as shown in the lower part of Fig. 8.7a, forming an electric quadrupole. Since the electric fields generated from these anti-parallel electric dipoles cancel each other out, they cannot be detected in the second layer, corresponding to the dark state in Sect. 3.1.

This conversion has also been seen in the energy transfer from a small QD to a large QD, as was described in Chap. 3. The (1, 1, 1) and (2, 1, 1) energy levels of the cubic small and large QDs are electric dipole-allowed and -forbidden, respectively, corresponding to two electric dipoles respectively aligned in parallel and anti-parallel directions. Therefore, the energy transfer from the (1, 1, 1) energy level in the small QD to the (2, 1, 1) energy level in the large QD corresponds to the conversion from the electric dipole to the electric quadrupole. Furthermore, the subsequent relaxation from the (2, 1, 1) energy level to the (1, 1, 1) energy level in the large QD corresponds to the conversion from the electric quadrupole to the electric dipole.

Although a probe is used here for confirming the phase transition, it is not required to read out the transcripted area after it is magnified.
