Abstract
One of the main goals of photonic integration is to combine different
components that are capable of executing different functions. One of these
functions is the generation of light: in this sense, photonic wire lasers
may become a key component in future generations of integrated circuits
because of their small footprints. Another is the generation of
high-intensity electric fields that can be used to excite nonlinear effects,
such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering, or to visualize nano-objects, in
small regions and can be achieved by using plasmonic nanoantennas. In this
paper, the combination of photonic wire lasers and plasmonic nanoantennas is
examined. We show that a very compact photonic wire nanoantenna laser, which
generates a high-intensity electric field inside the nanoantenna, can be
produced.
