Plasmon lasers at deep subwavelength scale
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.read more

Controlling collective spontaneous emission with plasmonic waveguides
Ying Li,Christos Argyropoulos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a plasmonic route is demonstrated to control the collective spontaneous emission of two-level quantum emitters, where superradiance and subradiance effects are observed over distances comparable to the operating wavelength inside plasmoric nanochannels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported active tuning of surface-phonon polaritons (SPhPs) in InP and 4H-SiC by photoinjecting free carriers into the nanoresonators, taking advantage of the coupling between the carrier plasma and optical phonons to blue-shift SPhP resonances.

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.
