Abstract
We demonstrate an all-optical modulation of surface plasmon resonance by photo-irradiation induced dielectric constant change of CdSe quantum dots on the gold surface. The dipole-dipole interaction between the surface plasmon and the photo-induced excitons in the dots gives rise to a shift in the surface plasmon resonance peak. This shift is found to sensitively reflect a tiny change in the dielectric constant, which is useful for investigating the nonlinear effect in active plasmonic components.
