Plasmonic Nanolasers - A Laser The Size Of A Virus Particle

Monday, November 5, 2012 - 23:10 in Physics & Chemistry

New single laser devices that are the size of a virus particle can also operate at room temperature. These plasmonic nanolasers could be readily integrated into silicon-based photonic devices, all-optical circuits and nanoscale biosensors. We're going to need ultra-fast data processing and ultra-dense information storage by the time Halo 8 comes to a holodeck near you, so reducing the size of photonic and electronic elements is critical. read more
