We demonstrate substantial reduction in the LSPR linewidth of an Au nanorod by depositing it onto the surface of a tapered fiber. When the tapered diameter is reduced to about 1-3 **m, we observe signatures of strong coupling between the LSPR modes and the whispering gallery modes of the tapered fiber. This results in a very narrow hybrid plasmon-fiber resonance of the single Au nanorod, with a much higher quality factor Q (up to 300) when compared with that of an Au nanorod or an uncoated fiber with the same diameter. Meanwhile, the strong coupling leads to a significant enhancement of the peak scattering intensity at plasmon resonance when compared to an uncoupled Au nanorod. Nonlinear optical processes such as second-harmonic generation can therefore be produced from such a simple system with extremely high conversion efficiency, as it should theoretically scale with Q4. Moreover, we observed ultranarrow (linewidth < 10nm) nonlinear resonances in the second harmonic spectrum of this coupled hybrid system.
