Abstract
Plasmon-based lasers and surface plasmon amplified spontaneous emission of radiation devices (spasers) have garnered significant attention since their prediction over a decade ago. Major advances have included subwavelength footprint sizes, room-temperature operation, far-field emission directionality, and understanding of the lasing mechanism. Notably, one simple architectural design for the plasmonic lasing cavity, nanoparticle lattices, has emerged as a powerful platform to achieve exquisite control over the coherent light. This talk will describe how tuning of the lattice symmetry and nanoparticle characteristics as well as the type of gain material can result in fine control over the wavelength, threshold, angle of emission direction, and polarization of the nano-lasing signals.
