Abstract
Surface-plasmon (SP) enhancement of amorphous-silicon-nitride (a-SiN<sub>x</sub>) light emission
with single-layer gold (Au) waveguides is experimentally demonstrated through time-resolved
photoluminescence measurement. The a-SiN<sub>x</sub> active layer with strong steady-state photoluminescence at
560 nm is prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and the Au waveguide on the top of
the a-SiN<sub>x</sub> layer is fabricated by magnetron sputtering. The maximum Purcell factor value of ~3 is
achieved with identified SP resonance of the Au waveguide at ~530 nm.
