Popis: Spatio-temporal control of ultrafast plasmon resonances has gained research interest in recent years because of their tremendous implications in nonlinear optics and ultrafast quantum technology. In particular, the lifetime of ultrashort plasmon oscillations has become a debatable subject in recent experimental and theoretical studies to fulfill the future challenges concerning their effective employment in the vast applications of the plasmonic industry. Here, we examined the temporal properties of nonlinear plasmonic modes in metal nanostructures by interacting them with quantum objects in the weak coupling regime in order to distinguish it from the fundamental plasmonic mode. First of all, we present an analytical description of nonlinear ultrafast dynamics of localized surface plasmon resonances when the second harmonic plasmon mode interacts with long-lived dark mode or quantum emitter. Later, the coupled plasmonic system is realized in two different ways to control the lifetime of second harmonic mode by coupling, i) driven mode to dark mode (or long lifetime quantum emitter) ii)itself to dark mode (or long lifetime quantum emitter). The driven-dissipative dynamics are solved through a numerical technique governing the spatial and temporal changes in the second harmonic plasmonic response supported by AuNP. Finally, the lifetime enhancement of nonlinear plasmon mode is manifested by performing FDTD simulations for a nonlinear plasmonic system of Au nanoparticles coupled with a long lifetime quantum emitter.
