Fig. 5. (a) Transmission recorded from the MKR without SnS2 (red curve) and the MKR with SnS2 (green curve). The purple ellipse shows one minor resonance in the MKR without SnS2. (b) Measured normalized transmission spectrum of the MKR without SnS2 (red curve) and the corresponding fitted resonance curve (black circles). The fitted curve is obtained by setting γ=0.033, κr=0.298, and Re(neff)=1.47.

Fig. 6. (a) Measured normalized transmission spectra of the MKR with SnS2 (green curve) and the corresponding fitted resonance curve (black circles). The fitted curve is obtained by setting γ=0.673, κr=0.217, and Re(neff)=1.42. (b) Transmission of the MKR structure at different external violet pump light powers. The red, black, brown, cyan, and blue curves correspond to the transmission with external violet pump power of 0, 5.1, 10, 15.3, and 20.2 mW, respectively.
