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

TL;DR: The experimentally demonstrated SHG efficiency was nearly 10(6) times larger than the one reported previously in the SPP system with different nonlinear optical material and is estimated to be sufficient for parametric amplification of surface plasmon polaritons at ultra-short laser pumping.

Nanostructured metals for light-based technologies.
TL;DR: A broad overview of the concepts and applications of nanostructuring metals for light-based technologies is given, including those for sensing, spectroscopy, detection, switching, modulation, energy harvesting and photocatalysis, light emission, optical tweezing, nonlinear optics, subwavelength imaging and lithography and high density data storage.

Dynamics of quantum correlation between separated nitrogen-vacancy centers embedded in plasmonic waveguide.
TL;DR: It is shown that a large degree of quantum correlation can be established by this scheme even when the distance between the NVCs is much larger than their operating wavelength.

Coupled dipole approximation across the Γ-point in a finite-sized nanoparticle array.
TL;DR: Using the coupled dipole approximation, it is found that the dipole distributions can be strongly inhomogeneous and that strong modulations appear as the energy is above the Γ-point.

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.
