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

Nanolasers grown on silicon
Roger Chen,Thai-Truong D. Tran,Kar Wei Ng,Wai Son Ko,L.C. Chuang,Forrest G. Sedgwick,Connie J. Chang-Hasnain +6 more
TL;DR: Based on a CMOS-compatible growth process, the authors successfully demonstrate the bottom-up integration of InGaAs nanopillar lasers onto silicon chips, and the resulting nanolaser offers tiny footprints and scalability, making it particularly suited to high-density optoelectronics.

Light scattering and surface plasmons on small spherical particles
TL;DR: Fan et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed the fundamental aspects of light scattering by small spherical particles, emphasizing the phenomenological treatments and new developments in this field, and described how Mie theory can be used to describe optical scattering of small dielectric particles, and, in the case of metallic particles, how light excites surface plasmons to generate an optical response featuring asymmetric Fano 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.
