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 …

Organic dyes have been used as gain medium for lasers since the 1960s, long before the
advent of today's organic electronic devices. Organic gain materials are highly attractive for …

Control of light transmission and reflection through nanostructured materials has led to
demonstration of metamaterial absorbers that have augmented the performance of energy …

Lasing at the nanometre scale promises strong light-matter interactions and ultrafast
operation. Plasmonic resonances supported by metallic nanoparticles have extremely small …

This review focuses on structural engineering of lasers from the macroscale to the
nanoscale, with an emphasis on plasmon nanolasers. Conventional lasers based on Fabry …

Plasmonic nanoarrays which support collective surface lattice resonances (SLRs) have
become an exciting frontier in plasmonics. Compared with the localized surface-plasmon …

Conspectus Rationally assembled nanostructures exhibit distinct physical and chemical
properties beyond their individual units. Developments in nanofabrication techniques have …

Over the past years, photonic metasurfaces have demonstrated their remarkable and
diverse capabilities in advanced control over light propagation. Here, we demonstrate that …

We study lasing at the high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone in a honeycomb plasmonic
lattice. We use symmetry arguments to define singlet and doublet modes at the K points of …

A novel material platform based on metallic thin films with ultra-low losses in the visible and
near-IR range is crucial for rapid development of a wide range of new generation plasmonic …
