Impact of surface collisions on enhancement and quenching of the luminescence near the metal nanoparticles
Jacob B Khurgin, Greg Sun
The fact that surface-induced damping rate of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in metal nanoparticles increases with the decrease of particle size is well known. We show that this…
Plasmonic enhancement of the third order nonlinear optical phenomena: figures of merit
Jacob B Khurgin, Greg Sun
Recent years have seen increased interest to plasmonic enhancement of nonlinear optical effects, yet there remains an uncertainty of what are the limits of this enhancement. We pre…
Spasers, VCSELs, and Surface plasmon emitting diodes (SPED): their unique features and figures of merit
Jacob B Khurgin, Greg Sun
We compare fundamental characteristics of proposed electrically pumped subwavelength plasmonic lasers (spasers) with ubiquitous all-dielectric semiconductor micro-lasers (VCSEL) an…
Guided plasmon modes of triangular and inverted triangular cross section silver nanoridges
Zeyu Pan, Junpeng Guo, Richard Soref +2
Propagating two-dimensional plasmon modes guided along silver nanoridge waveguides with triangular and inverted triangular cross sections are investigated in this paper. Mode field…
Mode Properties of Flat-top Silver Nano-ridge Surface Plasmon Waveguides
Zeyu Pan, Junpeng Guo, Richard Soref +2
We investigate surface plasmon modes supported by flat-top silver nano-ridges. We calculate the mode electromagnetic field distribution, the dispersion curve, the travel range, and…
Scaling of losses with size and wavelength in nanoplasmonics and metamaterials
Jacob B Khurgin, Greg Sun
We show that, for the resonant metal-dielectric structures with sub-wavelength confinement of light in all three dimensions, the loss cannot be reduced significantly below the loss…
