Nanolaser Key "Spaser"

It is thinnest laser that can emit visible light.

It represents an important aspect for possible future innovations and technological development. This opens the door for fields such as hyper-lenses that create more powerful sensors and microscopes branching off from nano-photonic technology. Based on clouds of electrons called "surface plasmons", tiny spasers are created.
A detailed paper describing this research is posted online in the journal Nature, reporting on work done by researchers at Purdue Norfolk State University and Cornell University.
