Abstract
We introduce two fundamental optical elements based on light confinement and strong light-matter interaction in plasmonic nanostructures. One is a fully nanoscopic light source, that is, a coherent amplifier of localized surface plasmon polaritons: the spaser. The other one is a key element for future quantum logic devices: a switch or transistor operating with a single molecule only. We describe and analyze the performances of both devices based on thorough numerical simulations. The calculations are realistic and qualitative to hint at limitations in real devices, which are often overlooked. Design suggestions for optimized performance are provided.
