Abstract

Abstract : A new nanoplasmonic lasing mechanism is successfully developed by H.‐Y. Wu, M. Lu, B. T. Cunningham, and L. Liu on page 708. By using plasmonic nanodome array lasers, it is experimentally demonstrated that the photons emitted by the photoexcited dye molecules couple to the hybridized plasmon mode, which is formed by coupling between localized surface plasmon and surface plasmon–polariton Bloch wave modes. This enables low‐threshold, room‐temperature lasing reliably emitted in the oblique direction.
