激光微型化之路——从微波激射器、激光到等离激元纳米激光

Laser miniaturization——from maser, laser to spaser and beyond

摘要: 激光的发明极大地推动了现代科学和技术的发展，其中在空间维度实现局域化的微型化激光成为了现代信息技术的基石。文章将从光辐射是由辐射源和其所处的辐射环境共同决定的这一光与物质相互作用基本观点出发，简述激光微型化的相关背景、物理意义、发展脉络，并讨论微型化激光的应用前景。

Abstract: The invention of the laser has greatly advanced modern science and technology, and recently, microscale lasers have emerged as a cornerstone of modern information technology. In this article we review the background, underlying physics, and development of laser miniatur‐ ization while also discussing the diverse applications of microscale lasers.
