Abstract
The combination of single photon emitters (quantum dots) and tailored metal nanoparticles with defined size and shape allows a detailed study of the interaction between light and matter. The enhanced optical near-field of the nanoparticles can strongly influence the absorption and emission of nearby fluorescent quantum dots. We show that a controlled spatial arrangement enables the analysis and understanding of polarization dependent coupling between a metal nanoparticle and few or single fluorescent quantum dots. Modifications in the fluorescence spectrum and lifetime are analyzed and compare well with simulations.
