New Paper: Optical Characterization of Size- and Substrate-Dependent Performance of Ultraviolet Hybrid Plasmonic Nanowire Lasers
We have a new paper as a result of a collaboration between Freidrich-Schiller University Jena, the University of Manchester, the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology and the National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University.
Collaborator Francesco Vitale (Jena) led this study to understand how substrate interactions can modify photonic to plasmonic nanolasing
