  • Application of a phenomenological coupled-oscillator model.

    • Main Results:

    • A single quantum dot induces a dip in the extinction and scattering spectra of the plasmonic resonator.
    • The scattering spectrum shows a particularly strong change.
    • Fano interference and hybridization effects were identified as key physical mechanisms.

    Conclusions:

    • Near-field coupling significantly modifies the optical response of plasmonic resonators.
    • Achieving near-complete transparency is possible.
    • The strong-coupling regime between a single quantum dot and a metal nanostructure can be realized.
