A thorough theoretical understanding of the interaction of excitons and surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) in metal–semiconductor hybrid structures is of fundamental importance for the design of SPP‐based devices. A theory to describe SPP–exciton interaction in a periodic multilayer film system is presented and demonstrated. In a hybrid system of gold nanowires on top of a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well (QW), our calculations show the formation of coupled SPP–exciton modes. These are predicted to be observable in reflection spectra and by near‐field scanning optical microscopy. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
