Demonstration of Quadrature Squeezed Surface-Plasmons in a Gold Waveguide
arXiv:0901.3969 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.246802
Abstract
We report on the efficient generation, propagation, and re-emission of squeezed long-range surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a gold waveguide. Squeezed light is used to excite the non-classical SPPs and the re-emitted quantum state is fully quantum characterized by complete tomographic reconstruction of the density matrix. We find that the plasmon-assisted transmission of non-classical light in metallic waveguides can be described by a Hamiltonian analogue to a beam splitter. This result is explained theoretically.
