    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Plasmonics
    • Materials Science
    • Optoelectronics

    Background:

    • Surface plasmon (SP) phenomena are crucial for nanoscale light manipulation.
    • Metal-dielectric nanostructures offer tunable optical properties.
    • Lasing from plasmonic structures is a key area in nanophotonics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally investigate surface plasmon lasing in systematically varied metal hole arrays.
    • To explore the relationship between array geometry and lasing characteristics.
    • To understand the underlying physics governing SP lasing in these systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of gold-semiconductor interfaces with square arrays of sub-wavelength holes.
    • Systematic variation of lattice constant and hole size in the arrays.
    • Optical pumping of the semiconductor medium at telecom wavelengths (~1.5 μm).
    • Angle- and frequency-resolved measurements of spontaneous emission.

    Main Results:

    • Observed surface plasmon (SP) lasing across all 9 studied metal hole arrays near normal incidence.
    • Demonstrated that different arrays operate in distinct plasmonic bands and at varied wavelengths.
    • Visualized plasmonic bands over the (ω, k||) range using spontaneous emission measurements.
    • Validated experimental results with a coupled-wave model.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms SP lasing in engineered metal hole arrays.
    • A coupled-wave model accurately describes the observed plasmonic bands.
    • Quantified scattering of SPs at the holes, providing insights into laser operation.
