Mie Plasmons: Modes Volumes, Quality Factors, and Coupling Strengths (Purcell Factor) to a Dipolar Emitter
Figure 3
(a) Extinction efficiency of a silver sphere embedded in PMMA, calculated using full Mie expansion. (b) Contribution of the dipolar () and quadrupolar () mode to the full extinction efficiency. The quality factor is indicated for each mode. Dielectric constant for silver is taken from [28].
