We propose a concept of surface plasmon-polariton amplification in the structure comprising interface between dielectric, metal, and asymmetric quantum well. Due to the Rashba spin-orbit interaction, minima of dispersion relation for electrons in conduction band are shifted with respect to the maxim...
