Single-photon Nonlinear optics with Graphene Plasmons
We showed that it was possible to realize significant nonlinear optical interactions at the few photon level in graphene nanostructures. Our approach took advantage of the electric field enhancement associated with the strong confinement of graphene plasmons and the large intrinsic nonlinearity of graphene. Such a system could provide a powerful platform for quantum nonlinear optical control of light. As an example, we considered an integrated optical device that exploited that large nonlinearity in order to realize a single photon switch.
