Plasmon lasers: coherent light source at molecular scales
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasmon lasers are a new class of coherent optical frequency electromagnetic wave amplifiers that deliver intense, coherent and directional surface plasmons well below the diffraction barrier. The strongly confined electric fields in plasmon lasers can enhance significantly light-matter interactions and bring fundamentally new capabilities to bio-sensing, data storage, photolithography and optical communications.

Plasmon lasers are a new class of coherent optical amplifiers that generate and sustain light well below its diffraction limit. Their intense, coherent and confined optical fields can enhance significantly light-matter interactions and bring fundamentally new capabilities to bio-sensing, data storage, photolithography and optical communications. However, metallic plasmon laser cavities generall...
متن کاملOptical laser systems at the Linac Coherent Light Source
Ultrafast optical lasers play an essential role in exploiting the unique capabilities of recently commissioned X-ray free-electron laser facilities such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Pump-probe experimental techniques reveal ultrafast dynamics in atomic and molecular processes and reveal new insights in chemistry, biology, material science and high-energy-density physics. This manu...
متن کاملUltra-fast nano-optics
Ultra-fast nano-optics is a comparatively young and rapidly growing field of research aiming at probing, manipulating and controlling ultrafast optical excitations on nanometer length scales. This ability to control light on nanometric length and femtosecond time scales opens up exciting possibilities for probing dynamic processes in nanostructures in real time and space. This article gives a b...
متن کاملQuality Factor Improvement for Nano Cavity
In this paper, the increasing of quality factor in the stimulated amplification of surface plasmon polaritons at visible frequencies was reported. Laser science has been successful in producing high powered, faster, and smaller coherent light sources. Such lasers are restricted, both in optical mode size and physical device dimension, to being larger than half the wavelength of the optical fiel...
متن کاملComparison of Latent Print Detection using Semiconductor Laser and LED Light Sources with Three Chemical Reagents
A variety of light sources and reagents are available for the detection and identif ication of latent prints. This study was undertaken to explore the optimum light and f ilter combinations of laser and light-emitting diode (LED) light for use with indanedione and two new reagents, genipin and lawsone. The light sources utilized were Coherent TracER lasers operating at 460 nm, 532 nm, and 577 n...
