Description
In Pat 2 of this four-part tutorial, Mark Stockman concentrates on spasers and spaser-based lasers. A spaser is a plasmonic nanosystem containing a metal nanoparticle, which plays a role of the plasmonic resonator, and semiconductor gain shell. The tutorial considers fundamental theory of the spaser, including both stationary (CW) operation and its ultrafast kinetics. The tutorial then reviews an extensive literature on various spasers demonstrated experimentally, and outlines fundamentals of applications of both nanospasers and lasing spasers.
This is Part Two of a four-part tutorial.
