Low-loss nonlinear polaritonics

Abstract

We propose large low-loss cross-phase modulation between two coupled surface polaritons propagating through a double electromagnetically-induced transparency medium situated close to a negative-index metamaterial. In particular a mutual $\pi$ phase shift is attainable between the two pulses at the single photon level.
