Abstract

Surface plasmons are widely interesting due to their ability to probe nanoscale dimensions. To create coherent plasmons, we demonstrate a nanolaser based on a plasmonic bandgap defect state inside a surface plasmonic crystal. A one-dimensional semiconductor-based plasmonic crystal is engineered to have stopbands in which surface plasmons are prohibited from travelling in the crystalline structure. We then confine surface plasmons using a three-hole defect in the periodic structure. Using conventional III-V semiconductors, we achieve lasing in mode volumes as small as Veff = 0.3(λ0/n)3 at λ0 = 1342 nm, which is 10 times smaller than similar modes in photonic crystals of the same size. This demonstration should pave the way for achieving engineered nanolasers with deep-subwavelength mode volumes and attractive nanophotonics integration capabilities while enabling the use of plasmonic crystals as an attractive platform for designing plasmons.

(a) A schematic of a one-dimensional plasmonic crystal. The nanobeam consists of a direct-gap semiconductor material (InGaAsP) with a 5 nm TiO2 dielectric barrier and a 10 nm InP barrier between it and the metal. The 3 nm Ti adhesion layer is left off for simplicity. The device has three air holes missing in the middle of the device, creating a defect in the periodic structure. The beam is 225 nm thick and w wide with air holes of diameter d spaced apart by lattice constant a. (b) A scanning electron micrograph of a one-dimensional plasmonic crystal. The scale bar represents 1 μm.

We contrast the plasmonic crystal with a photonic crystal of the same dimensions. (a) The simulated band structure for the plasmonic crystal device in Fig. 3a. We show the first six bands of the device (A-F). The bands are labeled red (TM/plasmonic) and blue (TE/photonic). We also highlight the presence of two plasmonic bandgaps that appear only in the plasmonic crystal (versus a photonic crystal). A three hole defect in the device introduces multiple defect eigenmodes shown as black stars at the Broullion zone edge. (b) We show the simulated band structure for a photonic crystal with exact dimensions in Fig. 3a but without the metal substrate. The bands are labeled to correspond to a particular travelling wave of a plasmonic crystal (e.g. A’ in a photonic crystal corresponds with A in the plasmonic crystal). The photonic crystal has only a TE bandgap that extends from 222 THz to beyond 300 THz with a defect mode, α’ due to a three hole defect.

We contrast the different bands for a plasmonic and photonic crystal of the same dimensions. The bands are labeled to correspond to Fig. 1. (a, b, c, d, e, f) The electric field magnitude plots of the first four plasmonic bands (A-D) and the first two photonic bands (E,I) are presented for a SPPC. The charge distribution of the plasmon-like (TM) bands (A-D) are overlaid on the field distribution plots. Each pair of plots correspond to a color map of |E| along the cross-section defined by the dashed white line on the corresponding figure. The left plot is in the x-z plane, while the right figure is in the y-z plane. Bands A, B, C, D, E, and I resonate at 190, 204, 214, 229, 243, and 327 THz, respectively. (g, h, i, j, k, l) In a similar manner, we show the electric field magnitude plots of the first six bands for a photonic crystal in order of increasing resonance frequency (E’, B’, A’, C’, I’, and D’ resonate at 222, 282, 283, 295, 310, and 312 THz, respectively).

Laser characteristics of the γ defect laser mode. (a) The simulated plasmonic dispersion, bandgap, and defect location of the device in Fig. 3a. The γ defect has a resonance frequency near 224 THz. (b) The spectra obtained from the device shown in Fig. 3a versus pump position along the device (the spot size is ~3 μm). Away from the center of the device, bands C and D are observed and confirmed through agreement with simulation in (a). The third defect begins to lase when the device is pumped in the device center (where the defect is located). (c) The lasing spectra of the γ defect mode. The inset shows the laser spectrum in semi-log scale below and at threshold pump power. (d) The input-output power characteristics (L-L curve) of the γ defect in log-log scale. Using rate equation models, it is estimated that the device has large spontaneous emission coupling into the laser mode with Fβ = 0.122. L-L curves with Fβ = 0.01 and Fβ = 1 are shown for comparison to the obtained data (black circles). Also, the L-L curve is plotted in linear scale (inset).
