Abstract

Numerical simulation of a nano-disk based plasmonic laser is presented. A semiconductor nano-disk embedded in the gold forms a cavity for the plasmonic laser. One-dimensional body-of-revolution finite-difference-time-domain incorporated with Drude model for the metal and multilevel/multi-electron gain medium model is developed for the simulation. The lasing performance of the nanodisk with a radius of 90 nm is numerically demonstrated.
