Abstract :
Metallic nano-cavities employed in recently demonstrated metallic cavity nano-lasers are examined. An overview is given of results from devices employing metal-insulator-metal structures with sub-wavelength dimensions, and progress in further miniaturization to tens of nanometers reported.
