Abstract:
An integrated semiconductor plasmonic nano-ring laser with a connecting output plasmonic waveguide for light extraction is proposed, designed and demonstrated numerically. The maximum light extraction efficiency can be up to 56%. The design was optimized with 2D FDTD and verified with 3D FDTD methods, where close agreement is shown between the two.
