Feasibility of GaAs‐based metal strip surface plasmon nano‐lasers

Metal-in-metal localized surface plasmon resonance.

Anomalous strong resonances in silver and gold nanoporous thin films which conduct are found to arise from isolated metal nano-islands separated from the surrounding percolating metal network by a thin loop of insulator. This observed resonant optical response is modelled. The observed peak position is in agreement with the observed average dimensions of the silver core and insulator shell. As ...

Metal-Cavity Nanolasers and NanoLEDs

We present the theory and experiment of metal-cavity nanolasers and nanoLEDs flip-chip bonded to silicon under electrical injection at room temperature. We first review the recent progress on microand nanolasers. We then present the design rule and our theoretical model. We show the experimental results of our metal-cavity surface-emitting microlasers and compare with our theoretical results sh...

Multipole plasmon modes at a metal surface.

The existence of multipole surface-plasmon modes at simple-metal surfaces is demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically. Inelastic reAection electron-scattering experiments on smooth films of K and Na show loss peaks originating from the ordinary surface plasmon as well as from a higher-energy multipole mode. Microscopic density-functional calculations of the electron-loss function repr...
