Abstract
The results of investigation of photon transport through the subwavelength hole in the opaque screen by using single neutral atom are represented. The basis of the proposed and implemented method is the absorption of a photon by a neutral atom immediately before the subwavelength aperture, traveling of the atoms through the hole and emission of a photon on the other side of the screen. Realized method is the alternative approach to existing for photon transport through a subwavelength aperture: 1) self-sustained transmittance of a photon through the aperture according to the Bethe’s model; 2) extra ordinary transmission because of surface-plasmon excitation.
Highlights
We have proposed and investigated [4] a fundamentally different mechanism by which a photon can be transferred through a subwavelength hole
It is based on the photon transport that involves the participation of a particle other than a plasmon, namely, a neutral atom
Besides the using of a new particle for photon transport it opens up a new possibilities for surface science
Summary
We have proposed and investigated [4] a fundamentally different mechanism by which a photon can be transferred through a subwavelength hole. It is based on the photon transport that involves the participation of a particle other than a plasmon, namely, a neutral atom. A single atom transfers a single photon through a nanohole.
