Plasmonic distributed-feedback lasers based on a two-dimensional periodic array of metallic nanostructures are the main candidate for nanoscale sources of coherent electromagnetic field. Strong localization of the electromagnetic field and the large radiation surface are good opportunities for achieving an ultrashort response time to the external actions and creating beam directionality. At the same time, the investigation of such a system is a challenging problem. In this paper, we present an exhaustive study of the operation of a two-dimensional plasmonic distributed-feedback laser. We show that the complex structure of the modes of a periodic plasmonic array and the nonlinear interaction between the modes through the active medium lead to a new effect, namely, mode cooperation. Mode cooperation is manifested as the generation of the modes in an allowed band with a high threshold instead of modes localized near the band gap with a low threshold. Suppression of lasing of the modes at the edge of the band gap results in widening of the radiation pattern above the generation threshold. This paves the way for effective control and manipulation of the radiation pattern of nanoscale systems, which is of great importance for applications in spectroscopy and optoelectronics.
Electrically-pumped lasers directly grown on silicon are key devices interfacing silicon microelectronics and photonics. We report here, for the first time, an electrically-pumped, room-temperature, continuous-wave (CW) and single-mode distributed fe
We demonstrate a combination of optical and electronic feedback that significantly narrows the linewidth of distributed Bragg reflector lasers (DBRs). We use optical feedback from a long external fiber path to reduce the high-frequency noise of the l
By analogy to the three dimensional optical bottle beam, we introduce the plasmonic bottle beam: a two dimensional surface wave which features a lattice of plasmonic bottles, i.e. alternating regions of bright focii surrounded by low intensities. The
Although nanolasers typically have low Q-factors and high lasing thresholds, they have been successfully implemented with various gain media. Intuitively, it seems that an increase in the gain coefficient would improve the characteristics of nanolase
We present a novel scheme of structured light laser with an astigmatic mode converter (AMC) as intracavity element, first enabling the generation of Hermite-Gaussian (HG) modes with fully controlled two-dimensional (2D) indices (m,n) and vortex beams
