1301.5995 (Kosmas L. Tsakmakidis et al.)

Plasmonic Nanolasers Without Cavity, Threshold and Diffraction Limit
using Stopped Light
   [PDF]

Kosmas L. Tsakmakidis, Joachim M. Hamm, Tim W. Pickering, Ortwin Hess
We present a plasmonic waveguide where light pulses are stopped at well-accessed complex-frequency zero-group-velocity points. Introducing gain at such points results in cavity-free, "thresholdless" nanolasers beating the diffraction limit via a novel, stopped-light mode-locking mechanism.
