Designing Hybrid Plasmonic Nanolasers with High Quality Factors
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The miniaturization of optical devices with the advancement of micro/nano technology has led to the development of many research fields and various practical applications. Plasmonic nanolasers have attracted a lot of attention due to their ability to confine light in dimensions below the diffraction limit and hence the significant reduction of semiconductor laser dimensions. In this paper, a hybrid plasmonic nanolaser with structure consists of GaP gain material, silver metal, graphene layer, silica and air gap is designed and by choosing different gain materials such as InP, WS2, MoS2 and MoTe2, the effective refractive index and quality (Q) factor are simulated. Also, the effect of air gap on the mentioned parameters is investigated. The results show that by choosing the WS2 material for the hybrid plasmonic nanolaser and the air gap dimensions of 25 nm width and 10 nm length, the maximum Q factor of 328.7 is obtained which is higher than those of reported in the literature.
