We investigate the coherent transfer of orbital angular momentum (OAM) from an incident vortex probe field to a generated signal field in a V-type quantum system coupled to a plasmonic nanostructure. Analytical and numerical results demonstrate that the presence of the plasmonic environment enables plasmon-mediated quantum interference between decay channels, which activates a probe-to-signal coupling channel that is absent in free space within the present model. In contrast, in free space, the interference vanishes and the signal is suppressed, highlighting the critical role of engineered photonic environments in facilitating nonlinear OAM transfer. Spatial analysis reveals that nonzero OAM produces characteristic ring-shaped intensity profiles with discrete helical phase jumps, while the absorption exhibits azimuthal modulation reflecting regions of gain and transparency. We further explore the propagation dynamics of the signal field under varying incoherent pumping rates, emitter–plasmon distances, and field detunings. Coherent energy transfer is optimized at short distances and moderate pumping, whereas increased separation or suboptimal detuning reduces conversion efficiency due to weakened plasmon-enhanced interference. Our results show that careful tuning of emitter–surface separation, pumping, and detuning allows precise control of both amplitude and phase of the generated structured light. These findings establish plasmonic–quantum hybrid systems as versatile platforms for vortex-based optical conversion, nanoscale light shaping, and structured-light quantum information applications.
