Abstract
Abstract We suggest a scheme for the lossless excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at a metal-dielectric interface using a Laguerre Gaussian (LG) beam. We consider a three-layer structure consisting of a top transparent medium, a middle metal thin film, and a dielectric bottom layer. The dielectric medium contains three-level atoms exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). By applying a control field, a LG beam, and a microwave field, we induce azimuthally varying permittivity, which leads to the azimuthal modulation of SPPs. The propagation length of SPPs is increased when excited by a LG beam carrying optical angular momentum (OAM). Moreover, the group velocity of SPPs can be effectively controlled by adjusting the OAM and azimuthal angle of the LG beam, allowing for both slow and fast propagation of SPPs.
