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.

Deep-Ultraviolet Hyperbolic Metacavity Laser.

TL;DR: The hyperbolic metacavity laser shows a clear clamping of spontaneous emission above the threshold, which demonstrates a near complete radiation coupling of the MQW with the metac Cavity, which can greatly simplify the requirements of plasmonic nanolaser with a long plAsmonic structure.

Lasing Enhanced Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensing

TL;DR: In this article, the first lasingenhanced surface plasmon resonance (LESPR) refractive index sensor was presented, which achieved a figure of merit (FOM) of ∼84,000, which is about 400 times higher than the state-of-the-art surface plasmons resonance (SPR) sensor.

Tailoring light-matter coupling in semiconductor and hybrid-plasmonic nanowires.

TL;DR: Light-matter coupling has evolved with the ability to produce ever-shrinking optical mode volumes, shifting focus from bulk materials to optical microcavities, before moving on to recent results obtained from semiconducting nanowires.

All-Optical Information Processing Capacity of Diffractive Surfaces

TL;DR: This work analyzes the information-processing capacity of coherent optical networks formed by diffractive surfaces that are trained to perform an all-optical computational task between a given input and output field-of-view and determines mathematical rules describing the performance limits of the networks in relation to the number of diffractivefaces.

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.
