Abstract
Cavity mode manipulation in lasers is urgent for the stable single-mode operation of a microring laser. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the plasmonic whispering gallery mode microring laser for strong coupling between local plasmonic resonances and whispering gallery modes (WGM) on the microring cavity to achieve pure single-mode lasing. The proposed structure is fabricated based on integrated photonics circuits consisting of gold nanoparticles deposited on a single microring. Additionally, our numerical simulation provides deep insight into the interaction between the gold nanoparticles and WGM modes. The manufacture of microlasers for the advancement of lab-on-a-chip devices and all-optical detection of ultra-low analysts may benefit from our findings.
