Abstract:Started by M. Stockman with his proposed idea of a nanoscale quantum generator of plasmons that he called surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (SPASER) in 2002, during the last two decades various devices have been proposed, fabricated, and tested for SPASERs or plasmonic nanolasers which have almost the same meaning. Despite all these efforts, there are still serious barriers in front of these devices to be an ideal nanoscale coherent source of surface plasmons. The main challenge… Show more
