A.Asano, T.Liu, X.Nakajima, H.Kumano, H.Suemune, I.425Metallic nanocavities have been actively studied for realizing nanolasers with low threshold. Presence of resonance modes with high cavity Q values is the indication of low internal loss that leads to low threshold lasing. However, cavity Q values observed in metallic nanocavities below lasing threshold remain low at present on the order of 100 to 500. We study the possibility to realize higher resonance Q values with a metallic nanocavity. For probing purpose of cavity modes we propose to employ broad mid-gap-state optical emission of n-type GaAs. With this method we report the observation of a resonance mode with the high Q value of 3800 at room temperature with the metallic nanocavity. The cavity mode is identified as a whispering-gallery mode with finite-element- method simulation.American Institute of PhysicsJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/54609https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/54609/1/AppPhysLet_103_1.4828351.pdf0003-6951AA00543431Applied physics letters10319191104-1191104-42013-11-04enginfo:doi/10.1063/1.4828351Copyright 2013 American Institute of Physics.
