Abstract

Metallic periodic structure in subwavelength scale offers an exciting way to couple light into surface plasmons (SPs), thus manipulating the properties of near-field optics. We show that subwavelength metallic grating (SMG) defined on the substrate side of substrate emitting quantum cascade lasers enables far-field improvement in mid-infrared spectrum. The SMG is designed to tailor the interaction of SPs with single mode transverse magnetic light. The experiment results are in good agreement with the simulated model. A far-field full width at half maximum (FWHM) divergence angle of 3.9 ° in the direction perpendicular to the laser waveguide layers is obtained, improved by a factor of 8.5 compared with traditional surface emitting device.

1D high resolution far-field measurement for SMG-SEQCL. The fitted curves (θx) show the far-field in x axis direction at different temperature. The dotted curve shows far-field in the same direction for traditional SEQCL. The ridge width of the two kinds of laser is equivalent. The far-field (θy) in y axis direction is also presented. Inset: the corresponding wavelength at different temperature for the tested SMG-SEQCL.
