An integrated semiconductor plasmonic nano-ring laser with a connecting output plasmonic waveguide for light extraction is proposed, designed and demonstrated numerically. The maximum light extraction efficiency can be up to 56%. The design was optimized with 2D FDTD and verified with 3D FDTD methods, where close agreement is shown between the two.

A highly sensitive sensor based on two metal-insulator-metal waveguides coupled to an asymmetric hexagonal nano-ring resonator detecting cancerous cells is proposed. This novel design is utilized to facilitate the sensing of human cells. The sensing mechanism of the presented optical structure can act as a refractive index measurement in biological, chemical, biomedical diagnosis, and bacteria detection, which leads to achieving high sensitivity in the structure.

It has been demonstrated that a label-free refractive index sensor with sensitivity up to 1124 nm/RIU can be obtained using a simple design of a silicon nano-ring with a concentric hexagonal plasmonic cavity. It has also been shown that, with optimum structural parameters, a quality factor (Q-factor) of 307 and a figure of merit (FOM) of 234 can be achieved, which are approximately 8 times and 5 times higher than the proposed sensors counterparts, respectively.

In this area, localized surface plasmon can significantly enhance the electric field smaller than the radiation wavelength providing a strong gradient force required in optical tweezing systems. Owing to this beneficial advantage over the conventional optical tweezers, the plasmonic tweezers have matured to a stage where today become increasingly attractive for trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles.

The formula of surface plasmon polaritons field distribution in this case is derived. The offset distance and direction between the optical axis of the vortex beam and the center of the nano ring is used to control the distance and the angular distribution of the phase singularities in nanoscale, respectively.
