Abstract
Visible
light excitation of silver nanoparticles in the presence
of polymerizable monomers and selected dyes triggers the self-assembly
of nanolasers in a synthetically simple process. The new nanolasers
incorporate a thin, fully organic gain medium that allows the tuning
of the core absorption to a selected dye, or of the dye to a preselected
core material. This versatile synthesis of surface plasmon lasers,
or “spasers”, has unique simplicity and enables spatial
and temporal control of the nanolaser fabrication process
