We propose and analyze theoretically a double magnetic plasmon resonance nanolaser, in which ytterbium-erbium codoped material is used as the gain medium. Through design of the double magnetic resonance modes, pumping light (980 nm) can be resonantly absorbed and laser light (1550 nm) can be resonantly generated simultaneously. We introduce a set of rate equations combined to describe the operation of the laser and predict the lasing condition. According to our calculations, the disadvantage that pumping light is difficult to be absorbed by a thin slab of gain materials can be overcome.
