Superluminescence from an optically pumped molecular tunneling junction by injection of plasmon induced hot electrons

Here, we demonstrate a bias-driven superluminescent point light-source based on an optically pumped molecular junction (gold substrate/self-assembled molecular monolayer/gold tip) of a scanning tunneling microscope, operating at ambient conditions and providing almost three orders of magnitude highe...
