Active Individual Nanoresonators Optimized for Lasing and Spasing Operation
Plasmonic nanoresonators consisting of a gold nanorod and a spherical silica core and gold shell, both coated with a gain layer, were optimized to maximize the stimulated emission in the near-field (NF-c-type) and the outcoupling into the far-field (FF-c-

Gold nanorods embedded discotic nanoribbons [PDF]
It is shown that gold nanorods (GNRs) can be easily inserted into the supramolecular order of discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) along the director without disturbing their mesomorphism. GNRs embedded discotic nanoribbons, useful for constructing devices like thin film transistors, sensors, etc., are prepared by simple solution processing of GNR-DLC ...

Polarization control of metal-enhanced fluorescence in hybrid assemblies of photosynthetic complexes and gold nanorods [PDF]
Fluorescence imaging of hybrid nanostructures composed of a bacterial light-harvesting complex LH2 and Au nanorods with controlled coupling strength is employed to study the spectral dependence of the plasmon-induced fluorescence enhancement.

Oriented Gold Nanorods and Gold Nanorod Chains within Smectic Liquid Crystal Topological Defects [PDF]
We show that the use of oriented linear arrays of smectic A defects, the so-called smectic oily streaks, enables the orientation of gold nanorods (GNRs) for a large range of GNR diameters, ranging from 7 to 48 nm, and for various ligands. For the small GNRs it enables oriented end-to-end small chains of GNRs when the density is increased from around 2 ...

Polarized light emission by deposition of aligned semiconductor nanorods [PDF]
The ability to control the position and orientation of nanorods in a device is interesting both from a scientific and a technological point of view. Because semiconductor nanorods exhibit anisotropic absorption, and spontaneous and stimulated emission ...
