Abstract

The invention discloses a low-threshold-value surface plasma laser device comprising a base layer (1), a metal area (2) located above the base layer (1), a medium buffering layer (3) for covering the base layer and the metal area, a gain medium area (4) on the medium buffering layer and a covering layer (5). The gain medium area not only can be used for limiting a large part of a light field, but also the coupling of the gain medium area and the metal area can obviously restrain the light field in low-refractive-index medium layers at two sides of the metal area; and meanwhile, a lower transmission loss can be kept. The surface plasma laser device provided by the invention has a lower work threshold value and is easy to realize, so that the surface plasma laser device can be used for constructing various integrated nano active devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of micro-nano photonic devices / lasers, in particular to a low-threshold surface plasmon laser. Background technique [0002] Surface plasmon is an electromagnetic wave mode caused by the interaction between light and free electrons on the metal surface. The structure based on surface plasmon can confine the transverse light field to a size range much smaller than the wavelength, thereby breaking through the limitation of the diffraction limit. Many researchers are working on the miniaturization of laser components by taking advantage of the fact that surface plasmons break through the diffraction limit. However, in order to reduce the operating threshold of the laser, it is necessary to meet the two conditions of low-loss transmission and strong field confinement capability in the gain medium region, and this is the problem that traditional surface plasmon optical waveguides cannot overcome. [0003] The latest resea...
