Abstract

A plasmonic light source includes a substrate and a square nano-cavity formed on the substrate. The nano-cavity includes a quantum well structure. The quantum well structure includes III-V materials. A plasmonic metal is formed as an electrode on the square nano-cavity and is configured to excite surface plasmons with the quantum well structure to generate light. Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices are formed on the substrate.
