摘要

Strong coupling in nanostructures can bring intriguing optical phenomena such as ultrafast Rabi oscillation-periodical energy exchange phenomenon between two modes. Rabi splitting appears in the frequency-domain spectra for strong coupling system. However, in metallic nanosystems the time domain Rabi oscillations are hard to be observed because the plasmon lifetime is limited by the heavy ohmic losses. Here we report a theoretical investigation of surface plasmon coupling behaviour of two gold nanorods with one being a core-shell rod filled with a gain material and find the periodic energy exchange phenomenon which recalls the concept of Rabi oscillation. The gain material-cored gold-shell structure dipolar mode hybridizes with the solid gold rod quadrupolar mode to form the Fano resonances. Energy exchange between the two rods happens through the near field coupling. Two approaches, to prolong plasmon lifetime by increasing the gain efficiency and to increase Rabi oscillation frequency by increasing the coupling strength, are suggested to increase the Rabi oscillation cycles. Our results offer a way to achieve unique control of light at the nanoscale and further to explore plasmonic Rabi oscillation phenomena in plasmonic nanosystems. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
