近年來表面電漿波被大家認為是進入奈米世界中，一個很重要的角色，當金屬材料到達奈米等級時，有許多不同的特性會出現。隨著科技的進步，操作奈米精細等級的儀器也越來越穩定，且也可被量測，這些特性都逐一地被發現。在本研究中，我們利用表面電漿波來激發量子點，觀察其發光行為，所以我們將以改變量子點與金屬之間距離來做實驗，且與理論上之預測做比較和解釋之。

In recent years, the Surface Plasmon Polariton effect has played an important role for entering the Nano-world. When the metallic materials reach the nanometer level, many special characteristics show up. As the progress of advanced technology development, the equipments which can be operated in nano grade level are more stabilized. Many special surface Plasmonic properties have been discovered through the measurements. This research is to focus on using the Surface Plasmon coupling to excite colloidal quantum dots and observing the emissive behavior of quantum dots. The experiments of changing the distance between the quantum dots and the metal film were performed. The blinking effect disappeared when the quantum dots are very close to the metal film. It showed that some other mechanism is competing with Auger recombination in the quantum dots. The lifetime modification and emission intensity were measured when one quantum dot was placed near a silver cube. The coupling between the surface Plasmon polariton and the quantum dot was discussed.
