In this talk we introduce a new model for nanolasers that consistently includes all two particle quantum correlations. We find a threshold above which there are two different solutions, one in which the amplitude of the coherent field and of the medium polarization is zero, the other in which these variables have finite values. The main difference between this model and previous ones, due to two particle quantum correlations, is that these solutions are bistable.
Dr Papoff’s research interests are in classical and quantum Nanophotonics, scattering of Electromagnetic Waves and Complex Optical Systems. He has developed a surface approach to the decomposition of the Green’s functions of nanoparticles of any shape and he is currently working on mode quantization in nanostructures and quantum effects in nanolasers.
