Numerical analysis of the functional properties of the 3D resonator of a plasmon nanolaser with regard to nonlocality and prism presence via the Discrete Sources method

Рассматривается влияние эффекта нелокальности на оптические характеристики ближнего поля резонатора плазмонного нанолазера. На основе метода дискретных источников строится компьютерная модель, позволяющая проводить анализ характеристик ближнего поля слоистой наночастицы, располагающейся на прозрачной подложке в активной среде. При этом учет нелокальности плазмонного металла осуществляется в рамках модели обобщенного нелокального отклика. Исследуется возбуждение частицы как распространяющейся, так и неизлучающей волной. Установлены «оптимальные» направления внешнего возбуждения. Оказалось, что возбуждение неизлучающей волной ведет к большей интенсивности ближнего поля. Показано, что учет эффекта нелокальности в плазмонном металле существенно снижает коэффициент усиления поля. The influence of the nonlocality effect on the optical characteristics of the near field of a plasmonic nanolaser resonator is considered. A computer model based on the Discrete Sources method has been developed for the analysis of the near-field characteristics of a layered nanoparticle located on a transparent substrate in an active medium. In this case, the nonlocality of the plasmon metal is taken into account within the framework of a Generalized Nonlocal Optical Response model. Excitation of a particle by both propagating and evanescent waves is investigated. "Optimal" directions of external excitation have been established. It is found that excitation by an evanescent wave leads to a higher intensity of the near field. It is demonstrated that accounting for the nonlocal effect in the plasmonic metal significantly reduces the field amplification factor.Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке Московского центра фундаментальной и прикладной математики (проект «Моделирование элементов плазмонного нанолазера с учетом квантовой нелокальности»)
