TLDR
Hybrid plasmonic waveguides as discussed by the authors employ a high-gain semiconductor nanostructure functioning as a gain medium that is separated from a metal substrate surface by a nanoscale thickness thick low-index gap.
Abstract
Hybrid plasmonic waveguides are described that employ a high-gain semiconductor nanostructure functioning as a gain medium that is separated from a metal substrate surface by a nanoscale thickness thick low-index gap. The waveguides are capable of efficient generation of sub-wavelength high intensity light and have the potential for large modulation bandwidth >1 THz.

Quantum Engineering of Atomically Smooth Single-Crystalline Silver Films

TL;DR: The proposed method is based on the thermodynamic control of film growth kinetics at atomic level, which allows depositing state-of-art metal films and overcoming the film-surface dewetting, and could be readily adopted for the synthesis of other extremely low-loss single-crystalline metal films.

Spectral selectivity model for light transmission by the intermediate filaments in Müller cells.

TL;DR: It is believed that high contrast and visual resolution in daylight are provided by the quantum mechanism of energy transfer in the form of excitons, whereas the ultimate retinal sensitivity of the night vision is provided byThe classical mechanism of photons transmitted by the Müller cell light-guides.

Single-nanowire electrically driven lasers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the feasibility of achieving electrically driven lasing from individual nanowires and show that these structures can function as Fabry-Perot optical cavities with mode spacing inversely related to the nanowire length.
