Plasmonics involves manipulation of surface plasmons (SPs), which are collective oscillations of surface electrons in metal interacting with an electromagnetic field. Plasmonic structures provide compact and integrated optical processing, where planar metallic structures can be used to manipulate the amplitude and phase of SPs in two dimensions at the subwavelength level. By integrating plasmonic...
We report control of semiconductor laser polarization by patterning plasmonic structures on the laser facet. Linearly-polarized laser emission along an arbitrary polarization direction and a combination of linearly- and circularly-polarized laser emission are demonstrated.
Terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are currently the most advanced electrically pumped semiconductor lasers in the spectral range 1-5 THz. However, their operation at room temperature is still an unresolved challenge. In this paper, we discuss our efforts to improve the temperature performance of these devices. In particular, we present THz QCLs that approach thermoelectric cooled operation...
