Abstract
A plasmonic laser array device may comprise a first microcavity element having a first radiating end facet and a second radiating end facet opposite the first radiating end facet in a longitudinal direction of the device. The device may comprise a second microcavity element having a third radiating end facet and a fourth radiating end facet opposite the third radiating facet in the longitudinal direction. The device may comprise a first microcavity gap configured to separate the first microcavity element and the second microcavity element in the longitudinal direction. The device may comprise a bottom (e.g., metal) layer configured to underly the first microcavity element, the second microcavity element, and the first microcavity gap. The device may comprise an arrangement that places the first microcavity element and the second microcavity element into a phase-locked orientation for a phased-locked operation of the plasmonic laser array device.
