A Tamm Plasmon-Porous Gan Distributed Bragg Reflector Cavity

This paper reports on design, measurement and optimisation of a Tamm plasmon metal-distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) cavity for use in the green part of the visible spectrum. It uses an optimised silver layer thickness and a porous DBR created using a novel electro-chemical etching technique. This device has applications in low-cost lasers, photodetectors, and photoconductive switches for the visible wavelength range.
