Abstract

Surface lattice resonances (SLRs) with ultra-narrow linewidth (high quality factor) can enhance light–matter interactions at the nanoscale and modulate the propagating light from the emission wavelength direction to efficiency by photonic band engineering. Therefore, SLRs can serve as an excited candidate to enhance and, more importantly, modulate amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with more optical parameters. Here, this work presents a system of two-dimensional Ag-coated Al nanocone array (Ag-NCA) packaged with Nile red, and a normal ASE with 15-fold enhancement is observed under external driving light. This enhancement fades away, obviously, in the case of the off-normal condition, as the optical feedback evolves from the band edge steady state to the propagating state. The ASE of this hybrid plasmonic system expands the possibilities of interaction between light and matter and has great promise for applications in nanolasing, super-resolution imaging, and photonic integration circuits.
