Plasmonic Nanolasers in On-Chip Light Sources: Prospects and Challenges

Abstract: The plasmonic nanolaser is a class of lasers with the physical dimensions free from the optical diffraction limit. In the past decade, progress in performance, applications, and mechanisms of plasmonic nanolasers has increased dramatically. We review this advance and offer our prospectives on the remaining challenges ahead, concentrating on the integration with nanochips. In particular, we focus on the qualifications for electrical pumping, energy consumption, and ultrafast modulation. At last, we evaluate the… Show more

“…The higher threshold for plasmonic lasers is owing to the intrinsic ohmic loss of metals. [30,31] The spontaneous emission factors are 0.15 and 0.04, respectively, for plasmonic and photonic lasers estimated from "S" shaped light-in-light-out curve according to the rate equation calcul1ation. Deviation from rate equation fitting at high pump density results from many-body effects, such as Auger recombination process, owing to higher Auger recombination rate constant around 1.35 × 10 −27 cm 6 s −1 .…”

“…To date, SPASER device had already been experimentally demonstrated using many different nanostructures, [ 26,29,43–51 ] like nanowire, [ 31,52 ] nanorod, [ 37,53 ] nanosquare, [ 35 ] nanopillar, [ 32 ] nanobelt, [ 36 ] nanopatch, [ 54 ] nanoparticle arrays, [ 38,55–59 ] et al. Several representative works were showed in Figure 1a–f.…”

“…Among numerous semiconductors, III-V compound materials, such as InP, GaAs, and GaN, receive widespread attention due to the excellent electrical properties and high-electron-mobility in transistors [ 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 ]. Compared with Si, most III-V compounds have a direct bandgap, making them can be used as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers [ 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 ]. The combination of III-V materials with the Si-CMOS platform can be used as a hybrid solution for the on-chip integration of Si-based photonics.…”
