A low-loss surface plasmonic polariton (SPP) laser is designed as a candidate for the light-source in large-scale integrated (LSI) photonic circuits. Key design parameters of the laser are discussed and optimized to enhance the optical gain and minimize the metallic absorption loss. Performance of the laser is calculated to verify the device feasibility in the designed application.
