Nanohybrids of plasmon/quantum emitter system can dramatically enhance coherent harmonic generation, often resulting from the coupling of fundamental plasmonic fields to higher-energy, electronic or excitonic transitions of quantum emitters. The ultrafast optical dynamics of such hybrids have been rarely explored. Here, we study those dynamics by interferometrically probing nonlinear optical emission from individual porous gold nanosponges infiltrated with zinc oxide (ZnO) emitters. Few-femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron emission microscopy reveals multiple long-lived localized plasmonic hot spot modes at the surface of single nanosponges, resonant in a broad spectral range. The hot spot near-field couples to the ZnO excitons, enhancing sum-frequency generation, and boosting resonant excitonic emission. The quantum pathways of the coupling are further uncovered from a two-dimensional spectrum correlating fundamental plasmonic excitations to nonlinearly driven excitonic emissions.
