Abstract
We demonstrate a compact semiconductor laser device for generation and launching of surface plasmon into a passive waveguide at room temperature. Surface-plasmons are generated electrically at a single frequency using a distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser in the mid-infrared wavelengths, they are then launched in a passive metal strip and detected using an aperture-less near field scanning optical microscope.
