Novel Nanophotonics Approach to Up-Conversion Lasing in Nanostructured, Plasmonically Coupled Metamaterials

Abstract

Objective: The objective of our proposal is to produce and characterize highly efficient low loss metallo-dielectric metamaterials, which will be the basis for advanced nanophotonics concepts including: (i) random lasing utilizing enhanced feedback from plasmonically coupled nanosize scatterers; (ii) SPASERs for local nanolasing utilizing coupling between a plasmonic band and the quantum states of a gain medium; (iii) distributed feedback from the band gap in a hollow core photonic crystal fiber and (iv) nonlinear optics and stimulated Mie scattering in plasmonically coupled nanosize scatterers. During the course of the project we achieved a number of significant results in all of aforementioned areas, resulting in 2 publications which acknowledge support from SOARD. These papers are referenced below.
