Plasmon lasers: coherent light source at molecular scales
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.

Abstract
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.
