Condensation phenomena in plasmonics
arXiv:1411.3182 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.90.053604
Abstract
We study arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles combined with quantum emitters, quantum plasmonic lattices, as a platform for room temperature studies of quantum many-body physics. We outline a theory to describe surface plasmon polariton distributions when they are coupled to externally pumped molecules. The possibility of tailoring the dispersion in plasmonic lattices allows realization of a variety of distributions, including the Bose-Einstein distribution as in photon condensation. We show that the presence of losses can relax some of the standard dimensionality restrictions for condensation.
