Surface plasmonwaveguide mode hybridization and lasing in sub-wavelength microdisks at 1.3µm

Hybridization of surface plasmon and waveguide modes, in sub-wavelength quantum well microdisks with a varying diameter top metal contact, is simulated and experimentally verified. Lasing is achieved in weakly hybridized optically pumped sub-wavelength disks at lambda=1.3 mum.
