Nanoscale lasers now here

[ThunderBird89]

Researchers have created a new kind of laser: Nano-Lasers, small enough to be included in future optical computers. They generate laser light via small clouds of electrons near a surface, and are actually called 'spaser', for Surface Plasmon Amplification of Stimulated Emission. More in the article after the break.

Only 44nm wide emitting a 530nm wavelength....
That is quite a new development...
"Very interesting......"
