Abstract
We calculate the dispersion properties of waveguides composed of near-field-coupled arrays of metal-clad quantum dots (QDs). The high optical loss incurred by operating the metal shells close to resonance is mitigated by using optical gain in the QDs. A condition for achieving loss compensated operation is given based on realistic material parameters and neglecting inhomogeneous broadening.
