Plasmonic nanolaser using epitaxially grown silver film

Successful development of epitaxial Ag as a new plasmonic platform has enabled low-threshold, continuous-wave (CW) operation of a SPASER-enabled nanolaser comprised of a subdiffraction plasmonic cavity and a single InGaN@GaN core-shell nanorod gain medium.
