Ten years ago, three teams experimentally demonstrated the first spasers, or plasmonic
nanolasers, after the spaser concept was first proposed theoretically in 2003. An overview of …

Small lasers have dimensions or modes sizes close to or smaller than the wavelength of
emitted light. In recent years there has been significant progress towards reducing the size …

Semiconductor lasers, an important subfield of semiconductor photonics, have
fundamentally changed many aspects of our lives and enabled many technologies since …

Plasmon lasers are a new class of coherent optical frequency electromagnetic wave
amplifiers that deliver intense, coherent and directional surface plasmons well below the …

We demonstrate that confined Tamm plasmon modes can be advantageously exploited for
the realization of new kind of metal/semiconductor lasers. Laser emission is demonstrated …

We demonstrate a continuous wave (CW) sub-wavelength metallic-cavity semiconductor
laser with electrical injection at room temperature (RT). Our metal-cavity laser with a cavity …

Miniaturization has been an everlasting theme in the development of semiconductor lasers.
One important breakthrough in this process in recent years is the use of metal-dielectric …

The understanding of light‐matter interactions at the nanoscale lays the groundwork for
many future technologies, applications and materials. The scope of this article is the …
