Fano-control of down-conversion in a nonlinear crystal embedded with plasmonic-quantum emitter hybrid structures
arXiv:2008.07095 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.405637
Abstract
Control of nonlinear response of nanostructures via path interference effects, i.e., Fano resonances, has been studied extensively. In such studies, a frequency conversion process takes place near a hot spot. Here, we study the case where the frequency conversion process takes place \textit{along the body of a nonlinear crystal}. Metal nanoparticle-quantum emitter dimers control the down-conversion process, taking place throughout the crystal body, via introducing interfering conversion paths. Dimers behave as interaction centers. We show that a 2 orders of magnitude enhancement is possible, on top of the enhancement due to localization effects. That is, this factor multiplies the enhancement taking place due to the field localization.
