温馨提示
金属和等离子体纳米激光器最近引起了越来越多的兴趣。 迄今为止证明的等离子激光器在横向尺寸上以混合光子-等离激元模式工作,使得不可能将光子与等离激元分离。 因此,只能直接测量和利用远场光子分量。 但是,对于包括单光子发射器的高效耦合和超灵敏光学传感在内的应用,空间分离的等离子体激元模式是非常需要的。 在这里,我们报告了一种纳米线(NW)激光器,该激光器可提供亚衍射极限光束尺寸和空间分离的等离激元腔模。 通过近场耦合高增益CdSe NW和直径为100 nm的Ag NW,我们证明了在室温下以723 nm波长工作的混合光子-等离激元激光器,其等离振子模式面积为0.008 lambda(2)。 该设备同时提供空间上分离的光子远场输出和高度局部化的相干等离子体激元模式,这可能会在集成纳米光子电路,生物传感和量子信息处理领域开辟新的途径。

ABSTRACT: Metallic and plasmonic nanolasers have attracted growing interest recently.
Plasmonic lasers demonstrated so far operate in hybrid photon-plasmon modes in
transverse dimensions, rendering it impossible to separate photonic from plasmonic
components. Thus only the far-field photonic component can be measured and utilized
directly. But spatially separated plasmon modes are highly desired for applications
including high-efficiency coupling of single-photon emitters and ultrasensitivity optical
sensing. Here, we report a nanowire (NW) laser that offers subdiffraction-limited beam size
and spatially separated plasmon cavity modes. By near-field coupling a high-gain CdSe NW
and a 100 nm diameter Ag NW, we demonstrate a hybrid photon-plasmon laser operating
at 723 nm wavelength at room temperature, with a plasmon mode area of 0.008λ
2
. This
device simultaneously provides spatially separated photonic far-field output and highly localized coherent plasmon modes, which
may open up new avenues in the fields of integrated nanophotonic circuits, biosensing, and quantum information processing.

A
s coherent sources that can provide optical-frequency
radiation well below the classical diffraction limit in one or
more spatial dimensions, nanoscale plasmonic lasers have been
attracting more and more attentions in the past few years.

Relying on diverse configurations of metallic nanostructures
(such as clads,

films,
7,9,11−13
stripes,

and particles

)
adjacent to certain gain media, deep-subdiffraction nanolasers
have been successfully demonstrated. However, all the
plasmonic lasers reported so far operate in hybrid photon-
plasmon modes in the direction transverse to the propagation
direction, making it impossible to separate a pure plasmon
cavity mode from photonic component. Consequently, only the
far-field photonic component can be measured and utilized
directly.
For practical applications, direct access to a plasmon cavity
mode is an important approach to provide nanoscale confined
fields for light-matter interactions. Moreover, within visible and
near-infrared spectral range the relaxation time of the plasmon
oscillation in metals can go down to ∼10 fs level,
16,17
which
offers an opportunity for modulating a laser containing
separated plasmon cavity modes with ultrahigh rates. Therefore,
nanolasers with spatially separated plasmon cavity modes are
highly potential for wide applications including strong coupling
of quantum nanoemitters,

ultrasensitivity optical sens-
ing,

and ultrafast-modulated coherent sources.

Chemically synthesized nanowires (NWs) offer excellent
surface smoothness and crystalline structures, which ensure low
waveguiding losses for both photonic
30
and plasmonic
31,32
modes. For plasmonic waveguiding, Ag NWs are of particular
interest owing to their low dissipative loss (Ohmic loss) in the
visible and near-infrared ranges.

Also, the polaritonic
resonances

of Ag NWs match the gain spectral range of
some high-gain (>10

cm
−1
) semiconductor
7,11−13
(e.g., CdSe)
NWs, making it possible to compensate the Ohmic loss of the
metal for lasing actions in a hybrid photon-plasmon NW cavity.
By near-field coupling a long CdSe NW and a 100 nm-
diameter Ag NW, here we demonstrate a hybrid photon-
plasmon NW laser that offers subdiffraction-limited beam size
and spatially separated plasmon modes. The laser operates
around 723 nm wavelength at room temperature and offers far-
field-accessible pure plasmon cavity modes on a 3.7 μm length
Ag NW with a beam size of 0.008λ
2
. We also show that the
hybrid photon-plasmon NW laser can be modulated by solely
modifying the propagation loss of the plasmon modes in the Ag
NW.
Here, the hybrid photon-plasmon NW laser we proposed is
schematically illustrated in Figure 1. A Ag NW is side-coupled
to an ultralong CdSe NW to form an X-shape structure (Figure
1a). The coupling point is located close to the left end of the
CdSe NW, dividing the NW into two segments: the shorter one
to the left serves as a gain medium under optical pump; the
longer one to the right that is outside the pump beam and
highly absorptive around the emission band of the CdSe
34,35
serves as a distributed absorber to eliminate reflection from the
right side of the NW.

As shown in Figure 1b, the
photoluminescence (PL) from CdSe band-edge is waveguided
