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

Reflecting upon the losses in plasmonics and metamaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the physics of loss in conductors beyond the conventional Drude model and suggest that commonly used noble metals may not be the best materials for plasmonics and describe alternate materials such as transparent conducting oxides and transition metal nitrides.

Unusual scaling laws for plasmonic nanolasers beyond the diffraction limit
TL;DR: Comparing over 100 plasmonic and photonic laser devices and finding sub-wavelength plAsmonic lasers to be advantageous is found and clarifies the long-standing debate over the viability of metal confinement and feedback strategies in laser technology and identifies situations where plasMonic lasers can have clear practical advantage.

A review of gap-surface plasmon metasurfaces: fundamentals and applications
TL;DR: Gap-surface plasmon metamaterials have attracted increasing attention in recent years because of the ease of fabrication and unprecedented control over reflected or transmitted light while featuring relatively low losses even at optical wavelengths as mentioned in this paper.

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.
