Monolithic excitation and manipulation of surface plasmon polaritons on a vertical cavity surface emitting laser

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We report the manipulation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on a thin Au layer integrated on top of the mirror of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). Gratings etched into the Au layer to different depths are used to couple the light into and out of the film, and to bend the trajectory of the SPP. The result paves the way to compact integrated plasmonic devices.
