Abstract

We describe an effective resonant interaction between two localized wave modes of different nature: a plasmon polariton at a metal surface and a self-focusing beam (spatial soliton) in a nonlinear dielectric medium. Propagating in the same direction, they represent an exotic coupled-waveguide system, where the resonant interaction is controlled by the soliton amplitude. This nonlinear system manifests hybridized plasmon-soliton eigenmodes, mutual conversion, and nonadiabatic switching, which offer exciting opportunities for manipulation of plasmons via spatial solitons.
