A single-photon transistor using nanoscale surface plasmons
Photons rarely interact—which makes it challenging to build all-optical devices in which one light signal controls another. Even in nonlinear optical media, in which two beams can interact because of their influence on themedium’s refractive index, this interaction is weak at low light levels. Here, we propose a novel approach to realizing strong nonlinear interactions at the single-photon leve...
متن کاملQuantum Interference and Entanglement of Surface Plasmons
Surface plasma waves arise from the collective oscillations of billions of electrons at the surface of a metal in unison. The simplest way to quantize these waves is by direct analogy to electromagnetic fields in free space, with the surface plasmon, the quantum of the surface plasma wave, playing the same role as the photon. It follows that surface plasmons should exhibit all of the same quant...
متن کاملCoupling of InGaN quantum-well photoluminescence to silver surface plasmons
The coincidence in excitation energy between surface plasmons on silver and the GaN band gap is exploited to couple the semiconductor spontaneous emission into the metal surface plasmons. A 3-nm InGaN/GaN quantum well ~QW! is positioned 12 nm from an 8-nm silver layer, well within the surface plasmon fringing field depth. A spectrally sharp photoluminescence dip, by a factor '55, indicates that...
متن کاملCoupling between semiconductor quantum dots and two-dimensional surface plasmons
When CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots QDs are dispersed onto a two-dimensional 2D textured Ag grating, their luminescent behavior is dramatically modified. Excited QDs can resonantly excite surface plasmon polaritons SPPs propagating along the modulated metallic surface. The measurements of PL spectra and time-resolved PL spectra clearly indicate the interaction between QDs and 2D SPPs. The ele...
متن کاملInteraction of surface plasmons with CdTe quantum dot excitons
A 5-fold enhancement in the luminescence of CdTe nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is observed when they are placed in proximity to a nanostructured Au film deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique. No enhancement is observed with a nanostructured Ag film. The enhancement is due to the interaction of the QDs excitons with the localized surface plasmons (LSP). The Au surface plasmon (SP) freq...
