Extraordinary optical transmission of multimode quantum correlations via localized surface plasmons.

چکیده
We demonstrate the transduction of macroscopic quantum correlations by Ag localized surface plasmons (LSPs). Quantum noise reduction, or squeezed light, generated through four-wave mixing in Rb vapor, is coupled to a Ag nanohole array designed to exhibit LSP-mediated extraordinary-optical transmission spectrally coincident with the squeezed light source at 795 nm. This first demonstration of the coupling of quantum light into LSPs conserves spatially dependent quantum information, allowing for parallel quantum protocols in on-chip subwavelength quantum information processing.

One-way extraordinary optical transmission and nonreciprocal spoof plasmons.
We introduce a concept of a nonreciprocal spoof surface plasmon: an electromagnetic wave supported by a structured conductor embedded in an asymmetric magneto-optical medium and exhibiting a nonreciprocal dispersion. It is demonstrated analytically and by first-principles electromagnetic simulations that, by breaking the time-reversal symmetry, nonreciprocal spoof surface plasmons enable a dram...
متن کاملTheory of extraordinary optical transmission through subwavelength hole arrays.
We present a fully three-dimensional theoretical study of the extraordinary transmission of light through subwavelength hole arrays in optically thick metal films. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data. An analytical minimal model is also developed, which conclusively shows that the enhancement of transmission is due to tunneling through surface plasmons formed on each metal-dielect...
متن کاملEnhanced optical transmission mediated by localized plasmons in anisotropic, three-dimensional nanohole arrays.
This paper describes three-dimensional (3D) nanohole arrays whose high optical transmission is mediated more by localized surface plasmon (LSP) excitations than by surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). First, LSPs on 3D hole arrays lead to optical transmission an order of magnitude higher than 2D planar hole arrays. Second, LSP-mediated transmission is broadband and more tunable than SPP-enhanced ...
متن کاملNear-field Optical Excitation and Detection of Surface Plasmons
By definition surface plasmons are the quanta of surface-charge-density oscillations, but the same terminology is commonly used for collective oscillations in the electron density at the surface of a metal. Because the surface charge oscillations are intimately coupled to electromagnetic fields, surface plasmons are polaritons. In the past, surface plasmons have attracted considerable attention...
متن کاملBeaming Light from a Subwavelength Aperture - Diffraction Control and Enhanced Transmission -
Materials structured on the nanometer scale can lead to improved and sometimes surprising properties. This will be illustrated in some detail by our own work on the extraordinary optical properties acquired by metal films when periodically structured and perforated with one or more subwavelength holes ( 150 nm). These can transmit light with an efficiency hundred times larger than what theory p...
