▎ 摘  要

Hybrid nanocomposites can offer a wide range of opportunities to control the light-matter interaction and electromagnetic energy flow at the nanoscale, leading to exotic optoelectronic devices. We study theoretically the dipole-dipole interaction in noble metal nanoparticles-graphene nanodisks-quantum dots hybrid systems in the optical region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The quantum dot is assumed to be a three-level atom interacting with ultrashort control and probe pulses in a configuration. The dynamics of the system are studied by numerically solving for the time evolution of the density matrix elements. We investigate the rate of energy exchange between surface plasmon resonances of the graphene nanodisks and excitons of the quantum dots in the presence of metal nanoparticles at steady state and for specific geometrical conditions of the system. Ultrafast population dynamics are obtained with a large energy exchange rate significantly depending on the size of metal nanoparticles. The power transfer can be controlled by varying the center-to-center distances between the components of the system, and their positions with respect to each other. We also find that the rate of energy transfer within the system is governed by the probe field Rabi frequency, enhanced by the dipole-dipole interaction.
