Description

Electrical Control of Spaser Dynamics via Quantum Electrodynamic Principles. The project aims to develop an electrical interface model of spasers—nanoscale devices that generate coherent light by amplifying surface plasmons through stimulated emission. Nanoscale lasers do not exist due to mirror inefficacy from a fundamental physical limit; spasers enable nanoscale applications. By creating a Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics model, this research will allow spasers to be powered and controlled electronically, making integration with existing electronic devices feasible. The project addresses the challenge of determining spaser electrical parameters, allowing for accurate control and application in sectors like telecommunications and lab-on-a-chip devices, and advancing Australia’s position in nano-optics innovation.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4008 - Electrical Engineering. Lead: Prof Malin Premaratne
