Lasing in hybrid metal-Bragg nanocavities.

چکیده
We report room-temperature lasing from an optically pumped subwavelength-scale cylindrical InGaAsP pillar surrounded by circular Bragg reflectors on a metal substrate with a dielectric spacer layer. By taking advantage of wide in-plane photonic bandgaps and proper vertical antiresonances, three dielectric Bragg pairs produce a sufficient optical feedback capable of low threshold lasing from the fundamental TE011 mode. A large spontaneous emission coupling into the lasing mode is obtained from the cavity-enhanced Purcell effects and effective suppression of nonlasing modes.

Coupled nanowire-based hybrid plasmonic nanocavities on thin substrates
We theoretically analyze nanowire-based hybrid plasmonic nanocavities on thin substrates at visible wavelengths. In the presence of thin suspended substrates, the hybrid plasmonic modes, formed by the coupling between a metal nanowire and a dielectric nanowire with optical gain, exhibit negligible substrate-mediated characteristics and overlap better with the gain region. Consequently, the conf...
متن کاملPlasmonic gap-mode nanocavities with metallic mirrors in high-index cladding.
We theoretically analyze plasmonic gap-mode nanocavities covered by a thick cladding layer at telecommunication wavelengths. In the presence of high-index cladding materials such as semiconductors, the first-order hybrid gap mode becomes more promising for lasing than the fundamental one. Still, the significant mirror loss remains the main challenge to lasing. Using silver coatings within a dec...
متن کاملDesign of photonic band gap nanocavities for stimulated Raman amplification and lasing in monolithic silicon.
The concept and design of L5 photonic band gap nanocavities in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs for enhancement of stimulated Raman amplification and lasing in monolithic silicon is suggested for the first time. Specific high quality factor and small modal volume nanocavities are designed which supports the required pump-Stokes modal spacing in silicon, with ultralow lasing thresholds.
متن کاملFrom vertical-cavities to hybrid metal/photonic-crystal nanocavities: towards high-efficiency nanolasers
We provide a numerical study showing that a bottom reflector is indispensable to achieve unidirectional emission from a photonic-crystal (PhC) nanolaser. First, we study a PhC slab nanocavity suspended over a flat mirror formed by a dielectric or metal substrate. We find that the laser’s vertical emission can be enhanced by more than a factor of 6 compared with the device in the absence of them...

The concept and design of L5 photonic band gap nanocavities in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhCs) slabs for enhancement of timulated Raman amplification and lasing in monolithic silicon is suggested for the first time. Specific high quality factor (Q) and small modal olume nanocavities are designed which supports the required pump–Stokes modal spacing in silicon, with ultra-low lasing...
