Abstract:
The dynamics of plasmon polaritons (PPs) in a periodic lattice of dispersed nanorings (NRs) with embedded quantum nanoemitters (NEs) arranged according to the Cassini-Bernoulli lemniscate (LB) is studied. The field structure and the dynamics of the NE (quantum polarization) depend significantly on the plasma frequency ωp of the NR. We show that in the vicinity of the intersection of the LB branches (a region of high emitter density) located in the nanoring gaps, there is a significant enhancement of the optical field intensity and quantum correlations in the emitter subsystem. This effect may allow the coherent amplification of terahertz PPs (studied recently via free-electron-stimulated emission) in a lattice of NRs with the emission of embedded NEs.
