Plasmonic Nanolasers: Physics, Applications, and Challenges
Hosted By: Nanophotonics Technical Group
04 September 2019 20:00 - 21:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Nanolasers generate coherent light at the nanoscale. In the past decade, they have attracted intense interest, because they are more compact, faster and more power-efficient than conventional lasers. Thanks to their fundamentally new capabilities, nanolasers are now an emergent tool for a variety of practical applications.
In this webinar, hosted by the OSA Nanophotonics Technical Group, Dr. Ren-Min Ma of Peking University will explain the intrinsic merits of nanolasers and assess recent progress on their application, particularly in the directions of optical interconnects, near-field spectroscopy and sensing, optical probing for biological systems and far-field beam synthesis through near-field eigenmode engineering. The scientific and engineering challenges that remain for forging nanolasers into powerful tools for nanoscience and nanotechnology will also be highlighted.
What You Will Learn:
- Past developments and future directions of plasmon lasers
- Applications of plasmon lasers
- Discussion on the similarity and difference between plasmon lasers and traditional lasers
Who Should Attend:
- Students
- Researchers in universities, government labs, and companies
