Abstract

We demonstrate the coupling of Surface Plasmon and Atomic resonances in the presence of magnetic fields. By enhancing light-vapor interactions, the device shows promise in high resolution vector field imaging, magnetometry and tunable optoelectronic applications.

Magnetically Controlled Atomic–Plasmonic Fano Resonances

Liron Stern, Meir Y. Grajower, Noa Mazurski +1 more

Following the efforts of size reduction and the integration of light and vapor systems, great promise is held in the integration of vapor and confined electromagnetic waves. By confining light to nanoscale dimensions, fundamental properties of light-vapor interactions may vary significantly. For example, the state of polarization may be modified as compared with weakly focused beams. Specifically, in transverse magnetic modes, the existence of a longitudinal field component, which is in quadrature to the transverse field, generates a "circular-like" polarized light. Here, by taking advantage of this very property, we study the interaction of confined light and vapor in a coupled system of plasmons and atomic vapors in the presence of magnetic fields. Our results show that the spectroscopic nature and Fano resonances of the hybrid plasmonic-atomic system are greatly altered. In parallel, we also exploit the existence of the atoms in proximity to the plasmonic mode to probe the polarization state of the electromagnetic field and reveal the longitudinal-to-transverse ratio between the plasmonic modes components in the near field. Interestingly, our system maps the amplitude and phase information of the electromagnetic modes to the spectral domain. As such, combining magnetic fields with the coupled plasmonic-atomic system has the potential for future applications in high spatial resolution magnetometry, near-field vectorial imaging, and magnetically induced switching and tuning.

Plasmonic light matter interactions in hot atomic vapors

Liron Stern, Meir Y. Grajower, Uriel Levy

We provide the first experimental demonstration of interactions between surface Plasmon and atomic alkali vapors. Dispersion, absorption, slow and fast light are controlled by the interplay between the atomic line structure and the plasmonic resonance.

Surface-plasmon-based dispersive detection and spectroscopy of ultracold atoms

Matthias Mildner, Claus Zimmermann, Sebastian Slama

The paper reports on the optical detection and spectroscopy of ultracold atoms near a gold surface.A probe light field is used to excite surface plasmon polaritons.The refractive index of the atomic gas shifts the plasmon resonance and changes the reflected light power.Thus, the sensitivity of the detection is plasmonically enhanced.Absorption of photons from the evanescent wave is avoided by detuning the laser from atomic resonance which makes the detection scheme potentially nondestructive.The spectrum of the signal is determined by a Fano resonance.We show that atoms can be detected nondestructively with single atom resolution for typical parameters in cold atom experiments.Thus, the method is suitable for quantum nondemolition measurements of matter wave amplitudes.Experimentally, we measure a technically limited sensitivity of 30 atoms and extend the detection scheme to dispersively image the atom cloud near the surface.
