This book represents the first detailed description, including both
theoretical aspects and experimental methods, of the interaction of
rare-earth ions with surface plasmon polariton from the point of
view of collective plasmon-photon interactions via resonance modes
(metal nanoparticles or nanostructure arrays) with quantum emitters
(rare-earth ions). These interactions are of particular interest
for applications to optical telecommunications, optical displays,
and laser solid state technologies. Thus, our main goal is to give
a more precise overview of the rapidly emerging field of
nanophotonics by means of the study of the quantum properties of
light interaction with matter at the nanoscale. In this way,
collective plasmon-modes in a gain medium result from the
interaction/coupling between a quantum emitter (created by
rare-earth ions) with a metallic surface, inducing different
effects such as the polarization of the metal electrons (so-called
surface plasmon polariton - SPP), a field enhancement sustained by
resonance coupling, or transfer of energy due to non-resonant
coupling between the metallic nanostructure and the optically
active surrounding medium. These effects counteract the absorption
losses in the metal to enhance luminescence properties or even to
control the polarization and phase of quantum emitters. The
engineering of plasmons/SPP in gain media constitutes a new field
in nanophotonics science with a tremendous technological potential
in integrated optics/photonics at the nanoscale based on the
control of quantum effects. This book will be an essential tool for
scientists, engineers, and graduate and undergraduate students
interested not only in a new frontier of fundamental physics, but
also in the realization of nanophotonic devices for optical
telecommunication.
