Abstract

Extinction of light by material particles stems from losses incurred by absorption or scattering. The extinction cross section is usually treated as an additive quantity, leading to the exponential laws that govern the macroscopic attenuation of light. In this Letter, we demonstrate that the extinction cross section of a large gold nanoparticle can be substantially reduced - i.e., the particle becomes more transparent - if a single molecule is placed in its near field. This partial cloaking effect results from a coherent plasmonic interaction between the molecule and the nanoparticle, whereby each of them acts as a nanoantenna to modify the radiative properties of the other.
