In a metallic structure including a metallic nano-chain with plasmon resonance absorption, a metallic nanoparticle forming the metallic nano-chain is formed in a circular, triangle, or rhomboid shape. The wavelength selectivity can be increased also by forming a closed region by mutually linking all of metallic nanoparticles that are mutually linked with bottlenecks. In a photodetector, a photodetection unit including a current detection probe, a nano-chain unit, and a current detection probe is arranged on a substrate. The nano-chain unit is a metallic structure with plasmon resonance absorption, where metallic nanoparticles are mutually linked with bottlenecks. Each current detection probe has a corner whose tip is formed with a predetermined angle, and this corner is arranged to face the tip of the nano-chain unit, i.e., a corner of the metallic nanoparticle. Photodetection with high wavelength selectivity is performed based on a change in the initial voltage of the current-voltage characteristic.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a surface emitting laser capable of selectively generating a laser oscillation in the fundamental mode and thereby emitting a single-wavelength laser light. In a surface emitting laser including an active layer and a two-dimensional photonic crystal provided on one side of the active layer, a reflector 45 or 46 is provided at least at a portion of the circumference of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. The reflector has a reflectance distribution in which the reflectance has a maximum value at a position where the amplitude envelope of the fundamental mode of an internal resonance light created within the two-dimensional photonic crystal. This design strengthens the fundamental mode while suppressing the second mode, thus enabling the laser oscillation in the fundamental mode to be selectively obtained, so that a single-wavelength laser light can be emitted.

There is provided a sensing chip capable of measuring a refractive index by utilizing a long-range surface plasmon polariton, accurately measuring an accumulative refractive index in a wide range, and more easily enabling sealing for measurement. The present invention relates to the sensing chip which has a thin metal film or a strip-like metal grown on an underlayer, and has a dielectric that limits a refractive index and a dielectric buffer layer on an upper surface and a lower surface of the thin metal film or the strip-like metal. The dielectric buffer layer is attached onto the thin metal film or the strip-like metal. The thin metal film or the strip-like metal and the buffer layer are sandwiched between two dielectric layers. A hole is made in a surface of the upper dielectric layer to serve as a measurement groove.

A two-dimensional photonic crystal LED composed of a p-type semiconductor cladding layer 12, an active layer 11 of light-emitting material, and an n-type semiconductor cladding layer 13 placed between a pair of electrodes, where air holes 16 penetrating through the layers 12, 11 and 13 and arranged periodically in the layers 12, 11 and 13 are provided. At least a part of the inner wall of the air holes 16 is oxidized 17 in either one or both of the p-type semiconductor cladding layer 12 and the n-type semiconductor cladding layer 13. The holes and electrons injected from the electrodes avoid the oxidized region 17 and enter the active layer 11 apart from the air holes 16, which minimizes the recombination (surface recombination) of the holes and electrons producing heat instead of light.

A distance between two isolation grooves formed on outer sides of the outermost semiconductor laser light emission units is smaller than a distance between two isolation grooves formed on both sides of inner ones of the semiconductor laser light emission units.

A two-dimensional photonic crystal surface emitting laser light source according to the present invention includes a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of a plate-shaped body material provided with a periodic arrangement of identically-shaped holes 242A and an active layer provided on one side of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. The hole 242A is not located on a first half-line 251 extending from the gravity center G1 of the hole in a direction within the plane of the two-dimensional photonic crystal, while the hole 242A is located at least on a portion of a second half-line 252 extending from the gravity center G1 in the direction opposite to the first half-line 251. Injecting electric charges into the active layer generates light, which creates an electric field that encircles the gravity center G1 within the two-dimensional photonic crystal. For a given point on the second half-line 252 at which the hole 242A is located, there is no hole at a point that is symmetrical to the aforementioned point with respect to the gravity center G1, so that there is a difference in the refractive index between the two points. Thus, the electric field vectors at the two points are prevented from canceling each other due to destructive interference, so that the resultant laser light is stronger than conventional examples.
