“…In particular, the author discusses possible ways to bypass, mitigate, or overcome dissipative losses inherent to nanoplasmonic networks, with the main focus on the Ohmic loss compensation by gain in photonic-plasmonic metamaterials. Next, the contribution from Li et al [2] presents an experimental demonstration of the propagation of the long-and short-range surface plasmon polaritons assisted by stimulated amplification in electrically-pumped quantum wells gain medium.…”

We present the main results achieved in light source, light manipulation and imaging and sensing in our competitive research program. In light source, we have for the first time developed grapheme mode-locked lasers and dark pause lasers as well as nano-crystal Si based light emitting devices with colour tunable. In light manipulation, loss compensation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) using semiconductor gain media was studied theoretically and demonstrated experimentally and the SPP propagation can be controlled through electrical pumping. Microring resonators based on silicon on insulator and III-V semiconductors technologies have been successfully fabricated and they can be used as filter and switch in the photonic circuit. In imaging and sensing, both SPP and metamaterial based lenses are developed and resolution far beyond diffraction limit in visible range has been realized. Broadband photodetectors based on dilute nitrides are also demonstrated.

“…Specially compensating the propagation loss with MQW was proposed for its large gain and high quantum efficiency [13]. And in the [14,15] the MQW plasmonic waveguide with insulator-metal-insulator structure was explored. Therefore we adopt hybrid gap plasmonic structure with MQW to construct the compact plasmonic TWA.…”

We propose a hybrid gap plasmonic traveling wave amplifier (TWA) with electrically pumped multiple quantum wells (MQW). This TWA has deep sub-wavelength mode field scale and works at 1310 nm window. For the polarization-independent amplification we design the InGaAlAs tensile-strain MQW. Furthermore we analyze this plasmonic TWA’s optical, electrical and thermal characteristics by finite element method. First we get the suitable trade-off point between the affordable mode propagation loss and moderate mode field size by adjusting the gap width and height. Second we find that the narrower the MQW, the higher the MQW local gain. Third, our device has good thermal performance as the plasmonic wave power is less than 5 μw. Simulation results suggest that the independent polarization gain appears at 1317 nm wavelength. At this wavelength 3.60 cm −1 mode gain and 161 nm mode width are obtained as the 9.39 kA cm−2 injection current and 10 nm × 240 nm gap size.
