Area of Science:

  • Nanophotonics
  • Materials Science
  • Quantum Optics

Background:

  • Plasmonic nanolasers (spasers) are advanced coherent light sources.
  • Gold nanospheres with dye molecules function as spasers.
  • Photonic crystals (PhCs) offer external feedback for optical devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate spasers into a 3D PhC film.
  • To investigate the resulting coherent electromagnetic radiation.
  • To analyze the performance enhancement of spasers within a PhC.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of spasers using gold nanospheres, silica shells, and dye molecules.
  • Infiltration of spasers into a 3D silica-based photonic crystal film.
  • Characterization of the optical emission properties and threshold behavior.

Main Results:

  • The PhC-spaser hybrid structure acts as a coherent electromagnetic radiation source.
  • Phase-locking of spasers within the PhC resulted in "lasing spaser" phenomenon.
  • Observed "Star-of-David" far-field radiation patterns due to Brillouin zone boundary effects.
  • Achieved an 80-fold decrease in spaser generation threshold and narrowed emission peaks.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating spasers into PhCs enhances their performance as coherent light sources.
  • The PhC provides distributed feedback, improving spaser efficiency and coherence.
  • This hybrid system demonstrates a promising approach for advanced photonic applications.
