Photonic-plasmonic hybrid microcavities, which possess a higher figure of merit Q/V (the
ratio of quality factor to mode volume) than that of pure photonic microcavities or pure …

The development of a thresholdless laser operating above room temperature (RT) is key for
the future replacement of electronics with photonic integrated circuits, enabling an increase …
