摘要：
We demonstrate that lasing can be obtained with the Tamm plasmon modes appearing at the interface between a multilayered dielectric structure and a metal. The sample consists in InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells embedded in an AlAs/AlGaAs Bragg reflector, on top of which a silver film was evaporated. A superlinear increase of the emission is observed under optical pumping as well as a drastic concentration of the emission pattern around the vertical direction, evidencing a lasing effect. Due to the particular features of these surface modes, Tamm lasers open interesting perspectives for the realization of integrated microlasers. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
