Minimal spaser threshold within electrodynamic framework: Shape, size and modes

N Arnold, C Hrelescu, TA Klar - Annalen der Physik, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
It is known (yet often ignored) from quantum mechanical or energetic considerations, that the
threshold gain of the quasi‐static spaser depends only on the dielectric functions of the …

Graphene nanoribbon based spaser

OL Berman, RY Kezerashvili, YE Lozovik - Physical Review B, 2013 - APS
A novel type of spaser with the net amplification of surface plasmons (SPs) in a doped
