All-optical switching of continuous-variable entanglement in an absorption-suppressed plasmonic nanodimer
Abstract
A subwavelength quantum-photonic circuit element should simultaneously generate nonclassical light, suppress plasmonic loss, and remain dynamically tunable. We show that an orthogonal plasmonic nanorod dimer can satisfy all three requirements. A phase-locked control polarization induces plasmonic refractive-index enhancement, driving the probe response toward a near-zero-extinction regime while simultaneously tuning the local second-harmonic parametric interaction. The resulting nonlinear plasmonic source operates in an absorption-suppressed regime and enables all-optical control of quantum correlations. We demonstrate switchable logarithmic negativity and single-mode nonclassicality, establishing a route toward actively tunable quantum-plasmonic circuit elements operating well below the diffraction limit.
