Toroidal Lasing Spaser
Toroidal shapes are often found in bio-molecules, viruses, proteins and fats, but only recently it was proved experimentally that toroidal structures can support exotic high-frequency electromagnetic excitations that are neither electric or magnetic multipoles. Such excitations, known as toroidal moments, could be playing an important role in enhancing inter-molecular interaction and energy tra...
متن کاملLow-threshold bidirectional air lasing.
Air lasing refers to the remote optical pumping of the constituents of ambient air that results in a directional laserlike emission from the pumped region. Intense current investigations of this concept are motivated by the potential applications in remote atmospheric sensing. Different approaches to air lasing are being investigated, but, so far, only the approach based on dissociation and res...
متن کاملLasing action assisted by long-range surface plasmons
LTTER A R TCLE Abstract It is shown that lasing action at subwavelength scales can be achieved in realistic plasmonic systems supporting long-range surface plasmons (LRSPPs). To this end, a general numerical framework has been developed that is able to accurately account for the full spatio-temporal lasing dynamics and the vastly different lengthand time-scales featured by this class of systems...
متن کاملHighly tunable propagating surface plasmons on supported silver nanowires.
Surface plasmons, the quanta of the collective oscillations of free electrons at metal surface, can be easily tuned by changing the surrounding dielectric materials, which is well known for metal nanoparticles and metal surfaces, but less is known for one-dimensional metal nanowires. Here, we find an extremely large tunability of surface plasmons on Ag nanowires with a beat period of the near-f...
متن کاملBroadly tunable one-way terahertz plasmonic waveguide based on nonreciprocal surface magneto plasmons.
One-way-propagating broadly tunable terahertz plasmonic waveguide at a subwavelength scale is proposed based on a metal-dielectric-semiconductor structure. Unlike other one-way plasmonic devices that are based on interference effects of surface plasmons, the proposed one-way device is based on nonreciprocal surface magneto plasmons under an external magnetic field. Theoretical and simulation re...
