Abstract
Emission of pairs of photons in the interface metal-dielectric under the laser excitation arising due to the time-dependent perturbation of the zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field by photons of the laser is considered. The enhancement of this emission by surface plasmons may be used for getting polarization-entangled photons. A possibility to compensate the energy of the zero-point fluctuations of bosons by other fluctuations with negative energy is discussed.
