We demonstrate substantial reduction of 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. The strong coupling leads to a significant enhancement of the peak scattering intensity at the plasmon resonance. Second-harmonic generation is boosted to typically three orders of magnitude higher conversion efficiency in comparison to that from a single uncoupled Au nanorod. Moreover, the nonlinear resonance is ultranarrow (below 10 nm), benefitting from its fundamental mode with a high quality factor. An analytical anharmonic oscillator model gives good agreement with the experimentally observed wavelength-dependent nonlinear emission. In addition, giant multi-photon photo-luminescence up to 5th order has been observed.
