Demonstration of a spaser-based nanolaser

TL;DR: It is shown that 44-nm-diameter nanoparticles with a gold core and dye-doped silica shell allow us to completely overcome the loss of localized surface plasmons by gain and realize a spaser, and that outcoupling of surface plasmon oscillations to photonic modes at a wavelength of 531 nm makes this system the smallest nanolaser reported to date—and to the authors' knowledge the first operating at visible wavelengths.
