Light-matter interaction in Mie nanolasers

Abstract

By deriving a three dimensional vector set of Maxwell-Bloch equations, we report on an ab-initio investigation of a spherical Mie nanolaser. Parallel numerical simulations predict a rich physical scenario, ranging from a nontrivial vectorial energy-matter interplay in the initial stage of evolution to mode competition and dynamical frequency pulling effects. Application of these effects could favor the realization of nonlinearly-controlled largely-tunable nanolaser devices.
