Abstract
We study lasing at the high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone in a honeycomb plasmonic lattice. We use symmetry arguments to define singlet and doublet modes at the points of the reciprocal space. We experimentally demonstrate lasing at the points that is based on plasmonic lattice modes and two-dimensional feedback. By comparing polarization properties to -matrix simulations, we identify the lasing mode as one of the singlets with an energy minimum at the point enabling feedback. Our results offer prospects for studies of topological lasing in radiatively coupled systems.
