TL;DR: Electrical generation of surface-plasmon polaritons is reported by reproducing the analogue in the near field of the slit-doublet experiment, in a device which includes all the building blocks required for a fully integrated plasmonic active source: an electrical generator of SPPs, a coupler, and a passive metallic waveguide.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a report on room-temperature (RT) continuous-wave (CW) laser emission at 155 /spl mu/m of an all-inP-based electrically-pumped vertical external-cavity surface-emitting laser (EP-VECSEL) with threshold currents of 14 kA/cm/sup 2/ and output powers of up to 03 mW.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum well mid-infrared photo-detectors operating in the strong light-matter coupling regime has been reported to elucidate the elusive problem in inter-band polaritonics of the injection of electrons (single-particle fermionic states) into polaritonic modes (bosonic excitations) by reversing the perspective and focusing on the electron extraction.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that two charged particles can be bound by the exchange of transverse photons, which can be used as a tool in quantum material engineering, tuning electronic properties of semiconductor heterostructures beyond those permitted by mere crystal structures.

TL;DR: The direct proof of surface-plasmon generation is obtained with apertureless near-field scanning optical microscopy, which detects the presence of an intense, evanescent electric field above the device metallic surface upon electrical injection.
