Abstract

Low loss magnetic surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes characterized by enhanced electrical field component and subwavelength confinement on the dielectric and negative-index metamaterial interface are presented. We demonstrate a possibility of storage and perfect retrieval of the low loss magnetic SPP fields by using a photon echo quantum memory on Raman atomic transition. We describe the specific properties of the proposed technique which opens a possibility for efficient nano scale multi-mode quantum memory.

Storage and Retrieval of Surface Polaritons

Junfeng Su, Datang Xu, Guoxiang Huang

We investigate the memory of surface polariton (SP) via the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of quantum emitters doped at the interface between a dielectric and a metamaterial. We show that, due to the strong mode confinement provided by the interface, the EIT effect can be largely enhanced; furthermore, the storage and retrieval of the SP can be realized by switching off and on of a control laser field; additionally, the efficiency and fidelity of the SP memory can be improved much by using a weak microwave field. The results reported here are helpful not only for enhancing the understanding of SP property but also for promising applications in quantum information processing and transmission.

Quantum memory on atomic frequency comb in a plasmon-polariton waveguide

Арсланов Наркис Мусавирович, Sergey A. Moiseev

In this work, we present a nano-optical scheme of quantum memory for surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) modes in a nanoscale planar waveguide with a resonant atomic ensemble characterized by the periodic structure of the inhomogeneously broadened line. The theoretical study of the SPP modes is presented, where the regime of slow propagation and low-losses was found for these modes with fixed transverse spatial confinement, which provides a strong nondissipative interaction with resonant atoms. We describe the basic physical properties of the studied scheme and demonstrate a perspective area for the implementation of fast nanoscale quantum memory and processing with surface SPP modes.

Coherent amplification and inversion less lasing of surface plasmon polaritons in a negative index metamaterial with a resonant atomic medium

Saeid Asgarnezhad-Zorgabad

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) lasing requires population inversion, it is inefficient and possesses poor spectral properties. We develop an inversion-less concept for a quantum plasmonic waveguide that exploits unidirectional superradiant SPP (SSPP) emission of radiation to produce intense coherent surface plasmon beams. Our scheme includes a resonantly driven cold atomic medium in a lossless dielectric situated above an ultra-low loss negative index metamaterial (NIMM) layer. We propose generating unidirectional superradiant radiation of the plasmonic field within an atomic medium and a NIMM layer interface and achieve amplified SPPs by introducing phase-match between the superradiant SPP wave and coupled laser fields. We also establish a parametric resonance between the weak modulated plasmonic field and the collective oscillations of the atomic ensemble, thereby suppressing decoherence of the stably amplified directional polaritonic mode. Our method incorporates the quantum gain of the atomic medium to obtain sufficient conditions for coherent amplification of superradiant SPP waves, and we explore this method to quantum dynamics of the atomic medium being coupled with the weak polaritonic waves. Our waveguide configuration acts as a surface plasmon laser and quantum plasmonic transistor and opens prospects for designing controllable nano-scale lasers for quantum and nano-photonic applications.

QUANTUM INFORMATICS WITH PLASMONIC META-MATERIALS

ALI A. KAMLI, SERGEY A. MOISEEV, Barry C. Sanders

Surface polaritons (SP) at a meta-material interface are proposed as qubits. The SP fields are shown to have; low losses, subwavelength confinement and can demonstrate very small modal volume. These important properties are used to demonstrate interesting applications in quantum information i.e. coherent control of weak fields, and large Kerr nonlinearity at the low photon level.

Tunable surface plasmon-polaritons based on quantum coherence

Rafi Ud Din, Xiaodong Zeng, Guo-Qin Ge +1 more

Tunable surface plasmons on the interface of a multilevel atomic medium with a cross coupling of the electric and magnetic components of a plasmonic field are investigated. The strong chirality resulting from the quantum coherence leads to some exciting properties of the surface plasmons. Compared to the traditional chiral-metal interface, surface plasmonic mode can still be found at the interface between such atomic media and a dielectric even when both the permittivity and the permeability of the medium are positive. This is in contrast to the conventional plasmonic systems where the signs of the permittivities or permeabilities on the two sides of the interface are opposite. We call this phenomenon an electromagnetically induced plasmon. Additionally, as the chirality and effective refractive index of the atomic medium are dependent on the intensity and phase of the controlling field, we can conveniently manipulate the properties of the surface plasmons.
