More Details: We present a microscopic model for exciton-induced transparency (ExIT) in a hybrid system comprised of an emitter resonantly coupled to a surface plasmon in a metal-dielectric structure. We obtain an effective optical polarizability of such a system with coupling between the system components expressed in terms of energy transfer rates. We demonstrate that, in the weak coupling regime, the underlying mechanism of ExIT is the energy exchange imbalance between the plasmon and the emitter in a narrow frequency region. We derive in analytic form a frequency-dependent function that accurately describes the shape and amplitude of the transparency window in scattering spectra, supported by numerical calculations.
