Abstract
Controlling and generating coherent light fields in the nanoscale is critical for reducing the size of photonic circuitry. There are several demonstrations of zero-, one-, two-, and three-dimensional nanolaser architectures. Here we experimentally demonstrate a one-dimensional plasmonic laser, which consists of a periodic chain of aluminum nanoparticles and organic gain media. Lasing is observed at visible wavelengths, with clear thresholds and line widths down to 0.11 nm. Lasing occurs in a dark mode that extends over the whole structure, even outside the pumped area. The single lithography step fabrication and one-dimensional character allow for easy integration of these laser sources with other plasmonic structures.
