Area theorem for surface plasmons interacting with resonant atoms

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We show how the area theorem is applicable to the analytical description of the nonlinear interaction of surface plasmon modes with resonant two-level atoms. A closed analytical solution is obtained and analyzed for a dielectric-negative index metamaterial interface, which shows that surface plasmons can form long-propagating $2\ensuremath{\pi}$ pulses when interacting with an optically dense two-level atomic ensemble. The possible applications of the surface pulse area theorem and the conditions for the detection of $2\ensuremath{\pi}$ surface plasmon pulses are discussed.
