Gain-Assisted Propagation in a Plasmonic Waveguide at Telecom Wavelength

Résumé

The spatial confinement of surface plasmon polaritons is a promising route for realizing optical on-board interconnects. However, mode losses increase with the confinement factor. To overcome this road block, we investigate propagation assisted by stimulated emission in a polymer strip-loaded plasmonic waveguide doped with nanocrystals. We achieve 27% increase of the propagation length at telecom wavelength corresponding to a 160 cm-1 optical gain coefficient. Such a configuration is a step toward integrated plasmonic amplifiers.
