In this work we study the influence of plasmon excitations on the excitation dynamics within a protein complex embedding two chlorophyll molecules coupled to a gold nanosphere. Small separation between the chlorophylls and metallic nanoparticle allows us to simplify the calculations of the Förster energy transfer rate and non-radiative processes by replacing a spherical nanoparticle with a metallic surface. Our results show modifications of all relevant processes and the energy transfer pathways within the system as well as the radiative processes. Plasmon induced changes result in strong qualitative effects of the fluorescence of the studied light-harvesting complex.

Light scattering on a freely suspended, evaporating droplet of suspension of gold nanospheres (125 nm radius) in diethylene glycol is studied, revealing both local and nonlocal properties of the system. When the average distance between the nanospheres at the droplet surface matches the wavelength of light, a (broad) maximum, associated with the collective scattering on them, is observed. The number of nanospheres at the droplet surface can be found then. A fine modulation of the maximum is associated with the whispering gallery modes of the composite droplet. The Fano profile identified in the modulation is interpreted as an interference of collective scattering and whispering gallery modes. The ultra narrow enhancement-and-quench structure recognizable in the modulation is interpreted as associated with the creation and destruction of collective oscillation of plasmons of individual nanospheres. It is proposed that this phenomenon can be perceived as whispering gallery modes-assisted creation and destruction of a global plasmon.
