Increase Coherent Time in Plasmonic System by Spectral Hole Burning Effect

The plasmonic systems suffer from a significant degree of decoherence from the intrinsic large dissipative and radiative damping mechanisms. Here we demonstrate that this restrictive drawback can be mitigated by hybridizing the plasmonic system with an emitter ensemble of inhomogeneously-broadened transition frequencies. We find that the coherent time of Rabi oscillation of the hybrid system is significantly increased by burning two narrow spectral holes in the spectral density of the emitter ensemble. The spectral hole burning technique paves the way for the practical use of the hybrid quantum plasmonic systems for the processing of quantum information.
