Surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguides made of materials available in nature have, in general, been found to suffer from very high absorption loss when light confinement is beyond diffraction limit. In this paper, the possibility of combining both the conventional index-guiding and the SPP-guiding mechanisms together into one single waveguide is being explored. Such waveguides, expectedly, inherent the low-loss feature of all-dielectric waveguides as well as the superior mode field confinement possessed by SPP waveguides. By using experimentally ready materials, it is theoretically shown that compact metallodielectric waveguides can be designed with a∼500×500 nm2core size around the 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength. The examined waveguides can be interpreted as a gap SPP waveguide with an inner dielectric core. Compared to pure SPP waveguides, such hybrid waveguides have a comparable mode field size, but with significantly lower loss (∼0.05 dB/μmfor either quasi-TE or quasi-TM operation). Therefore they can be potentially deployed for a range of integrated photonic applications.

AbstractPlasmonics offers a unique opportunity to break the diffraction limit of light and bring photonic devices to the nanoscale. As the most prominent example, an integrated nanolaser is a key to truly nanoscale photonic circuits required for optical communication, sensing applications and high-density data storage. Here, we develop a concept of an electrically driven subwavelength surface-plasmon-polariton nanolaser, which is based on a novel amplification scheme, with all linear dimensions smaller than the operational free-space wavelength λ and a mode volume of under λ3/30. The proposed pumping approach is based on a double-heterostructure tunneling Schottky barrier diode and gives the possibility to reduce the physical size of the device and ensure in-plane emission so that the nanolaser output can be naturally coupled to a plasmonic or nanophotonic waveguide circuitry. With the high energy efficiency (8% at 300 K and 37% at 150 K), the output power of up to 100 μW and the ability to operate at room temperature, the proposed surface plasmon polariton nanolaser opens up new avenues in diverse application areas, ranging from ultrawideband optical communication on a chip to low-power nonlinear photonics, coherent nanospectroscopy, and single-molecule biosensing.
