Abstract
This research investigates the integration of photonic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) with plasmonic phenomenon using Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) as the active material. A remarkable transverse spin-dependent shift (SDS) of $838~\boldsymbol {\mu }\mathbf {m}$ is demonstrated—approximately 28 times larger than that observed in conventional plasmonic material such as silver (Ag). The study further explores the interplay between the enhanced electric field and spin-dependent splitting under resonance conditions, revealing that the resonance angle is strongly influenced by both SDS magnitude and field enhancement. Leveraging this enhanced spin-based interaction, we demonstrate the potential for quantum-enabled optical device design, including an optical differentiator and a high-sensitivity sensor. The proposed differentiator structure exhibits a power weight of 414.96 for the co-polarized (V–V) component and 0.35 for the cross-polarized (V–H/H–V) component. Moreover, the photonic spin-based sensor architecture achieves a sensitivity enhancement of $\sim~52\times $ compared to a standard plasmonic system at a refractive index of 1.33. These findings establish BaTiO3-integrated plasmonic platforms as promising candidates for advanced spin-based photonic devices in the realm of quantum technologies.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
