Abstract
The problem of sub-picosecond plasmon-polariton pulse formation in metal/dielectric interface due to collective decay of excited quantum dots, placed in the dielectric layer near the metal surface, is considered. Theoretical approach to selection of semiconductor quantum dots and dielectric host medium to increase the energy transmission of quantum dot collective excitations into surface plasmon-polariton modes of waveguide spaser is developed.
