What is SPASER • A spaser is a metal nanosystem that supports SP eigenmodes, surrounded by an active medium of the population-inverted two-level emitters. • A spaser is the nanoplasmonic counterpart of a laser 3. A SPASER is a nanoscopic quantum generator of coherent and intense local optical fields .

GaNSPASER SPP modal gains are calculated separately for both (a) symmetric and (b) asymmetric SPP modes as a function of hωwith a fixed carrier density,n= 1 × 1019 cm−3 . It is clear that Fermi–Dirac factor at finite temperature reduces the peak gain and gain bandwidth with increasing temperatures. Considering a silver film of thickness d = 30 nm, nSPand modal factors Φ as well as polarization factors μ are accounted in these calculations: nsSP= 7.0, naSP= 3.45, Φs= 0.19, Φa= 0.3, μs= 0.47, and μa= 0.33 JSTQE. 14, ( 2008) 1395
