This hybrid system provided an ideal platform to study the interaction between SP and F-P resonators on nanoscales. However, the time-resolved transient energy transfer process is far from resolved. In this letter, we addressed this question by time-resolved femtosecond pump-probe technology and readily observed the transient energy transfer between SP and nanocavity resonant ener- gy. The interaction resulted in the emergence of hybrid splitting mode and the oscillating dynamics between upper and lower polariton branch（the split hybrid states）. Our work may provide a well comprehension of strong coupling between SP modes and F-P resonator modes, and lay some groundwork for many future photonic applications.展开更多
