Abstract

New practical ways to reach the lasing effect in symmetrical metasurfaces have been developed and theoretically demonstrated. Our approach is based on excitation of the resonance of an octupole quasi-trapped mode (OQTM) in heterostructured symmetrical metasurfaces composed of monolithic disk-shaped van der Waals meta-atoms featured by thin photoluminescent layers and placed on a substrate. We revealed that the coincidence of the photoluminescence spectrum maximum of these layers with the wavelength of high-quality OQTM resonance leads to the lasing effect. Based on the solution of laser rate equations and direct full-wave simulation, it was shown that lasing is normally oriented to the metasurface plane and occurs from the entire area of metasurface consisting of MoS2/hBN/MoTe2 disks with line width of generated emission of only about 1.4 nm near the wavelength 1140 nm. This opens up new practical possibilities for creating surface emitting laser devices in subwavelength material systems.
