Zeroing In on Nanolasers
A recent OSA Incubator meeting dug into the principles, challenges, and prospects of lasing at the nanoscale.
The quest for ever-smaller lasers has led to some notable recent advances. But how can these advances make their way into real-world applications? That was one topic of an OSA Incubator meeting, “Science and Applications of Nanolasers,” held in Washington, D.C., in September 2016.
