Plasmonic nanolasers: fundamental properties and applications [PDF]
Plasmonic nanolasers are a new class of coherent emitters where surface plasmons are amplified by stimulated emission in a plasmonic nanocavity. In contrast to lasers, the physical size and mode volume of plasmonic nanolasers can shrink beyond the ...

Ultrasmall InGa(As)P Dielectric and Plasmonic Nanolasers. [PDF]
Nanolasers have great potential as both on-chip light sources and optical barcoding particles. We demonstrate ultrasmall InGaP and InGaAsP disk lasers with diameters down to 360 nm (198 nm in height) in the red spectral range. Optically pumped, room-temperature, single-mode lasing was achieved from both disk-on-pillar and isolated particles.

Ten years of spasers and plasmonic nanolasers. [PDF]
AbstractTen years ago, three teams experimentally demonstrated the first spasers, or plasmonic nanolasers, after the spaser concept was first proposed theoretically in 2003. An overview of the significant progress achieved over the last 10 years is presented here, together with the original context of and motivations for this research.

Unusual scaling laws for plasmonic nanolasers beyond the diffraction limit [PDF]
Since the first proposal for plasmonic nanolasers there has been a debate about the limitations on performance posed by the inherent losses in metallic systems.

On‐Chip Monolithically Integrated Ultraviolet Low‐Threshold Plasmonic Metal‒Semiconductor Heterojunction Nanolasers [PDF]
The metal‒semiconductor heterojunction is imperative for the realization of electrically driven nanolasers for chip‐level platforms. Progress in developing such nanolasers has hitherto rarely been realized, however, because of their complexity in ...

Loss and gain in a plasmonic nanolaser [PDF]
Plasmonic nanolasers are a new class of laser devices which amplify surface plasmons instead of photons by stimulated emission. A plasmonic nanolaser cavity can lower the total cavity loss by suppressing radiation loss via the plasmonic field confinement

Polarized Stimulated Emission of 2D Ensembles of Plasmonic Nanolasers
Plasmonic nanolasers produce coherent light with wavelengths on a scale similar to their own or larger. In the past decade they have attracted intense interest, particularly from the emerging areas of integrated photonic circuits and biomedicine. Despite

Plasmon Enhancement Reveals Origin of the Dark States of Photoluminescence Intermittency in Quantum Dots. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dark states of photoluminescence (PL) intermittency in colloidal quantum dots (QDs) interrupt PL emission and significantly reduce emission intensity, severely hindering QD applications. However, the origin of dark states remains ambiguous due to their extremely low intensity, which impedes the development of effective suppression strategies ...

Low-Threshold Nanolaser Based on Hybrid Plasmonic Waveguide Mode Supported by Metallic Grating Waveguide Structure [PDF]
A high Q-factor of the nanocavity can effectively reduce the threshold of nanolasers. In this paper, a modified nanostructure composed of a silver grating on a low-index dielectric layer (LID) and a high-index dielectric layer (HID) was proposed to ...
