Spaser is an acronym for surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
A spaser is effectively a nanoscale laser with subwavelength dimensions and a low-Q …

Organic lasers with switchable lasing wavelengths are critical to a variety of optical devices,
including laser displays, data storage and biological monitoring, owing to their tunability …

Here, a facile method is put forward to fabricate freestanding, large-domain blue phase (BP)
films based on self-assembly technology. This fabrication method enables the formation of …

We have synthesized self-assembled photonic crystals (PCs) based on polystyrene
nanospheres having average diameters of 250 nm. Samples were obtained by drop-casting …

We study a photonic crystal (PhC) heterostructure cavity consisting of gain medium in a
three-dimensional (3D) PhC sandwiched between two identical passive multilayers. For this …

Self-assembled photonic crystals grown from different colloidal sizes are coated with gold
nanoparticles preferentially on their surface. The effect of localized surface plasmon …

We numerically modeled and experimentally investigated a photonic crystal (PhC)
heterostructure cavity with a three-dimensionally (3D) ordered colloidal PhC made from …

Photonic crystals have very interesting features in their angle-resolved spectral response,
originating from the periodic arrangement of dielectric constant and the consequent …

A photonic crystal hetero-structure consisting of a passive planar defect of SiO 2 thin film
sandwiched between two identical opals grown by inward growing self-assembly method …

We theoretically study a low-threshold band-edge lasing in three-dimensional photonic
crystals (PhCs) with a face-centered cubic lattice structure, using a complex-valued …
