Proposal for Compact Solid-State III-V Single-Plasmon Sources

We propose a compact single-plasmon source operating at near-infrared wavelengths on an integrated III-V semiconductor platform, with a thin ridge waveguide serving as the plasmon channel. By attaching an ultrasmall cavity to the channel, it is shown that both the plasmon-generation efficiency (β) a...
