標題：可電流調控之石墨烯-絕緣層-金屬表面電漿子奈米雷射
說明：隨著資訊處理快速增長，高速、低功耗積體電路需求增強，並不斷縮小元件尺寸；相較電子元件，光子有較低的傳輸損耗及功率消耗，奈米光學元件成為目前研究的重要課題。本團隊利用金屬與介電質表面的表面電漿子(surface plasmon)特性將光侷限在次波長等級，並觀測到雷射特性；透過引入單層石墨烯，建構石墨烯-絕緣層-金屬的平台，將開發可電流調變之表面電漿子奈米雷射，並進一步提供發展電漿子積體電路的可能性。
Title：Current Modulated Graphene-Insulator-Metal Plasmonic Nanolasers
Description ： The quest for small coherent light sources has never been stopped, as these micro- to nanoscale light sources not only are essential for small-footprint, low power consumption, high-density, and parallel signal processing applications but also provide an insightful way to investigate the interaction between light andmatter.
We utilize the surface plasmon formed at the interface between the metal and dielectric layers to squeeze the light into the sub-wavelength scale and measure the lasing performance. More importantly, by inserting single-layer graphene, we can construct the graphene-insulator-metal (GIM) platform and demonstrate the current modulated lasing behavior. We believe that the GIM platform would play an important role in developing various novel active plasmonic devices to facilitate the realization of plasmonic circuitry.
