I am trying to model the fluorescence enhancement and quenching near a gold nano-particle.
So far I have created the particle and get the expected electric fields at resonance conditions when sending in light.
For starters I have been experimenting by including a point dipole at a distance from the particle surface. The program will not simultaneously run simulations on the field emitted from the dipole and the field around the particle from plasmon resonance.
I have also tried to evaluate the total energy emitted by the dipole by placing an "imaginary" sphere enclosing the dipole, as a result the sphere completely encloses the emitted electric field.
So far I have only been able to evaluate the energy absorbed by the gold nanoparticle.
Other groups have discussed examining the decay rates from this dipole-nano particle approach but they offer no details as far as I have seen.
Any help is appreciated
