Laser the size of a virus particle operates at room temperature, defies the diffraction limit of light

Monday, November 5, 2012 - 17:31 in Physics & Chemistry

A Northwestern University research team has found a way to manufacture single laser devices that are the size of a virus particle and that operate at room temperature. These plasmonic nanolasers could be readily integrated into silicon-based photonic devices, all-optical circuits and nanoscale biosensors.
