Abstract In this paper, the nonlinear optical properties of a metallic nanoparticle (MNP)-semiconductor quantum dot (SQD) hybrid nanosystem with the hybrid exciton effect have been studied. Considering the influence of quantum-size effect to the dielectric function of MNP, the quantum corrected dielectric function was applied to our calculation. By using the compact-density-matrix method, the interaction between MNP and SQD has been studied theoretically. The results show that the surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) of MNP enhance indeed the nonlinear optical properties of SQD. Further more, the enhancement depends on two factors: (a) the center-to-center 7distance between MNP and SQD; (b) the radius ratio between MNP and SQD.
