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.

Hot-Electron Intraband Luminescence from GaAs Nanospheres Mediated by Magnetic Dipole Resonances

TL;DR: It is revealed that the slope extracted from the dependence of the HEIL intensity on the irradiance is linearly proportional to the energy of the emitted photon, which makes GaAs NSs an attractive candidate for constructing novel all-dielectric metamaterials and active photonic devices.

Dilute Nitride Nanowire Lasers Based on a GaAs/GaNAs Core/Shell Structure.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates, for the first time, optically pumped lasing from the GaNAs shell of a single GaAs/GaNAs core/shell NW, and represents the first step toward development of room-temperature infrared NW lasers based on dilute nitrides with extended tunability in the lasing wavelength.

Plasmon-Assisted Nd3+-Based Solid-State Nanolaser

TL;DR: Room temperature laser action with subwavelength confinement in a Nd(3+)-based solid-state laser is demonstrated by means of the localized surface plasmon resonances supported by chains of metallic nanoparticles and a remarkable 15-fold improvement of the slope efficiency is shown.

Long-Range Hybrid Plasmonic Slot Waveguide

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a silicon-based long-range hybrid plasmonic slot (LRHPS) waveguide, which consists of a thin metal film (silver) inserted into a vertical low-index slot [filled with silicon nanocrystal (Si-nc)] between two high-index dielectrics (silicon), forming two nanoscale lowindex Si-nc slot regions.

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.
