Partial loss compensation in dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides at near infra-red wavelengths

We report on the fabrication and characterization of straight dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polaritons waveguides doped with leadsulfide quantum dots as a near infra-red gain medium. A loss compensation of ~33% (an optical gain of ~143 cm−1 ) was observed in the guided mode. The mode propagation...
