Fig. 5: Quantum simulations of the plasmon-QD emission spectrum.

a Numerically calculated emission spectra of the system for \(g_{\mathrm{D}} = 0\), \(S_{{\mathrm{em}}}^{g_{\mathrm{D}} = 0}\left( \omega \right)\) (green line), for \(g_{\mathrm{B}} = 0\), \(S_{{\mathrm{em}}}^{g_{\mathrm{B}} = 0}\left( \omega \right)\) (blue line), and sum of the two, \(S_{{\mathrm{em}}}^{g_{\mathrm{D}} = 0}\left( \omega \right) + S_{{\mathrm{em}}}^{g_{\mathrm{B}} = 0}\left( \omega \right)\) (red dotted line). b Analytically calculated contributions to the emission spectrum due to the bright exciton, \(S_{{\mathrm{em}}\left( {\mathrm{B}} \right)}\left( \omega \right)\) (green line), dark exciton, \(S_{{\mathrm{em}}\left( {\mathrm{D}} \right)}\left( \omega \right)\) (blue line), and the total analytical spectrum containing both contributions, \(S_{{\mathrm{em}}}\left( \omega \right) = S_{{\mathrm{em}}\left( {\mathrm{B}} \right)}\left( \omega \right) + S_{{\mathrm{em}}\left( {\mathrm{D}} \right)}\left( \omega \right)\) (red dotted line).
