Abstract :
We study the effects of metal layers on the modes of microdisk lasers. It is found that metal layers hybridize the whispering gallery modes of microdisks with the surface plasmon modes. We observe a significant enhancement in the electric field normal to the metal layers. This hybridization effect can be utilized to design a surface plasmon source similar to laser for plasmonic applications.
