“…The transmission curves for different light polarizations are similar, indicating that our sample is nearly polarization-independent. The polarization insensitivity is due to the symmetry of the square lattice, as have been demonstrated in previous works 38 , 40 , 41 . A numerical calculation based on the geometry of the array and the wavevector matching shows that this peak is associated with the ( ) SPP modes at the glass-metal interface 42 .…”

Surface plasmon polaritons (Spps) are collective excitations of free electrons propagating along a metal-dielectric interface. Although some basic quantum properties of SPPs, such as the preservation of entanglement, the wave-particle duality of a single plasmon, the quantum interference of two plasmons, and the verification of entanglement generation, have been shown, more advanced quantum information protocols have yet to be demonstrated with SPPs. Here, we experimentally realize quantum state teleportation between single photons and SPPs. To achieve this, we use polarization-entangled photon pairs, coherent photon-plasmon-photon conversion on a metallic subwavelength hole array, complete Bell-state measurements and an active feed-forward technique. The results of both quantum state and quantum process tomography confirm the quantum nature of the SPP mediated teleportation. An average state fidelity of 0.889 ± 0.004 and a process fidelity of 0.820 ± 0.005 , which are well above the classical limit, are achieved. Our work shows that SPPs may be useful for realizing complex quantum protocols in a photonic-plasmonic hybrid quantum network.

“…Anisotropic hole-shapes, such as elliptical [92] and rectangular [93][94][95][96][97] holes, show a strong polarization dependence of transmission. A single rectangular hole is influenced strongly by the aspect-ratio; the cutoff actually increases by narrowing the hole and this leads to a red-shift in the LSP resonance [14,72,73].…”

Extraordinary optical transmission through an array of holes in a metal film was reported by Ebbesen and coworkers in 1998. Since that work there has been abundant research activity aimed at understanding the physics and at the development of the many applications associated with this phenomenon, hence the topic of this review. The study of hole-arrays in a metal is not new -theoretical contributions on a small-hole array date back to Lord Rayleigh's description of Wood's anomaly in 1907 and there has been considerable research on metal meshes and holearrays since 1962. Bethe's theory, adapted to treat hole-arrays, is the simplest theoretical description of the transmission resonance. Following a description of this basic theory, we present the research on the additional effects from variations in real metal properties at different wavelengths, film thickness, holeshape and lattice configuration. The many promising applications being developed using hole-arrays are examined, including polarization control, filtering, switching, nonlinear optics, surface plasmon resonance sensing, surface-enhanced fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, absorption spectroscopy, and quantum interactions. Finally, the various approaches, developments in hole-array fabrication, and integration of hole-arrays into devices are described.

We investigate the mechanism of extraordinary optical transmission in subwavelength metal hole arrays. Experimental results for the arrays consisting of square or rectangular holes are well explained by the dependence of transmission strength on the polarization direction of the incident light. This polarization dependence occurs in each single hole. For a hole array, there is in addition an interplay between the adjacent holes which is caused by the transverse magnetic field of surface plasmon polaritons on the metal film surfaces. Based on the detailed study of a single-hole and two-hole structures, a simple method to calculate the total transmissivity of hole arrays is proposed.
