The dual annihilation of a surface plasmon and a photon by virtue of a three-wave mixing interaction

Abstract: The enhanced nonlinear interactions that are driven by surface-plasmon resonances have readily been exploited for the purpose of optical frequency conversion in metallic structures. As of yet, however, little attention has been payed to the exact particulate nature of the conversion process. We show evidence that a surface plasmon and photon can annihilate simultaneously to generate a photon having the sum frequency. The signature for this nonlinear interaction is revealed by probing the condition for momentum… Show more

“…Being just one of several possible SPP frequency conversion pathways [49,50], this phase-matching condition is of paramount importance as it determines the resonant SPP-induced enhancement of the nonlinear susceptibility χ (2) = χ (2) nr + χ (2) res (θ) with SPPmediated resonant contribution [35,37]:…”

“…However, nonlinear-optical considerations account for the following nonlinear phase-matching condition between the excitation source at the silver–glass interface characterized by the in-plane component of the k -vector k 0 ω sin θ and the second-harmonic SPP at the gold–air interface with the k -vector k spp 2ω . Being just one of several possible SPP frequency conversion pathways, , this phase-matching condition plays a crucial role in our interpretation, as it determines the resonant SPP-induced enhancement of the nonlinear susceptibility χ (2) .…”

“…There is a number of reports discussion parametric down-conversion due to SP nonlinearity [35,36] and SP induced local fields enhancing the process that takes place in the adjacent nonlinear media. [37,38] Those reports consider weak coupling regime suitable for gen-eration of correlated/entangled quantum photon pairs.…”
