Abstract: The introduction of quantum methods in spectroscopy can provide enhanced performance and technical advantages in the management of noise. We investigate the application of quantum illumination in a pump and probe experiment. Thermal lensing in a suspension of gold nanorods is explored using a classical beam as the pump and the emission from parametric downconversion as the probe. We obtain an insightful description of the behaviour of the suspension under pumping with a method known to provide good noise rejection. Our findings are a further step towards investigating effects of quantum light in complex plasmonic media.
