We have studied the pump-probe spectroscopy of graphene oxide quantum dots. In the presence of gold nanoparticles, strong modifications of pump-probe spectra have been observed. We develop a theoretical model to explain the observed features of the pump-probe spectra. The model takes into account self-consistently the interaction of exciton with surface plasmonic waves excited in the gold nanoparticles, and it provides a qualitative agreement with the observed pump-probe spectra. We have demonstrated that the using gold nanoparticles can increase sensitivity, and potentially to have a broader range of applications to both spectroscopy and microscopy.
