“…Observation of confined TPs beneath a metal island reported in [7,13,18,19] makes one expect a similar TP confinement in the waveguide configuration as well. However, in the latter case TPs confined in the transverse direction can propagate along the stripe.…”

“…There are few works aimed at the creation of new compact laser sources which exploit spatial confinement of TPs beneath a small metallic island [13,18,19]. The influence of spatial confinement on the structure and properties of TPs deserves careful study as it is essential for understanding the basic properties of TPs and important for their applications.…”

One-dimensional Tamm plasmons: Spatial confinement, propagation, and polarization properties

et al. 2017

Tamm plasmons are confined optical states at the interface of a metal and a dielectric Bragg mirror. Unlike conventional surface plasmons, Tamm plasmons may be directly excited by an external light source in both TE and TM polarizations. Here we consider the one-dimensional propagation of Tamm plasmons under long and narrow metallic stripes deposited on top of a semiconductor Bragg mirror. The spatial confinement of the field imposed by the stripe and its impact on the structure and energy of Tamm modes are investigated. We show that the Tamm modes are coupled to surface plasmons arising at the stripe edges. These plasmons form an interference pattern close to the bottom surface of the stripe that involves modification of both the energy and loss rate for the Tamm mode. This phenomenon is pronounced only in the case of TE polarization of the Tamm mode. These findings pave the way to application of laterally confined Tamm plasmons in optical integrated circuits as well as to engineering potential traps for both Tamm modes and hybrid modes of Tamm plasmons and exciton polaritons with meV depth.

“…Lasing has been reported with Tamm modes for both large-area metal layers [4] and with confinement provided by micronscale metal discs [5]. Replacing the discs by microrectangles with an aspect ratio of 2 has resulted in polarisation-controlled Tamm lasers [6]. Tamm single-photon sources have been demonstrated with InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) emitting at 910 nm [7] and InP/GaInP QDs emitting at 656 nm [8].…”

It is shown that cavities formed between a multilayer quarter-wave Bragg reflector and a metal mirror which support Tamm plasmons can be modelled by using a hard-mirror approximation including appropriate penetration depths into the mirrors. Results from this model are in excellent agreement with those found by numerical methods. In addition Tamm modes that are laterally confined by the presence of a metallic disc deposited on the Bragg reflector can be described by the effective index model that is commonly used for verticalcavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). This enables the lateral modes confined by a circular disc to be found from conventional weakly-guiding waveguide theory similar to that used for optical fibres. The resonant wavelengths of these linearly-polarised (LP) guided modes are calculated as functions of disc diameter and other parameters.

“…If a metallic disk of micrometric diameter is deposited on a DBR, the Tamm state can be confined beneath the metallic disk [13], providing three-dimensional confinement with versatile fabrication methods. Coupling of such 0D Tamm structures to epitaxial quantum dots has been demonstrated at cryogenic temperature, leading to bright single-photon sources [14], enhanced fluorescence [15] and low-threshold polarized nanolasers [16,17]. Tamm states have also been proposed for other applications such as transparent contacts [18], photovoltaics [19] or biological detection [10].…”

In this paper, we characterize the electric field distribution of confined optical modes in a 0D Tamm structure, consisting in a metallic disk deposited on a Bragg mirror. The modes are probed at room temperature, through the fluorescence of semiconductor colloidal nanocrystals. We perform a combined analysis of the resonant modes distribution in both direct space and Fourier space and show, in good agreement with numerical simulations, that a subportion of the structure will radiate with a different angular distribution depending on its position. Such analysis is shown to probe the gradient of the phase of the confined optical modes.
