Abstract
In the present thesis, the SPASER is investigated, from theory to structure design. SPASER is a counterpart of laser in 3D subwavelength dimentions. In other words, SPASER does not suffer from the diffraction limit of photons which is a drawback in laser technology. It potentially can generate intense coherent dark and bright surface plasmon modes. The small size of SPASER gives it the capability of being integrated with electronic chips. So, the electronic technology will become faster if the SPASER is realized. In this thesis, we intend to use the unique plasmonic properties of graphene in our designs. Plasmons on graphene platforms have longer propagation length and larger lifetime in...

Abstract
A structure is suggested for spasing. The presented surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of Radiation (SPASER) is made up of a graphene nanosphere, which supports localized surface plasmon modes, and a quantum dot array, acting as a gain medium. The gain medium is pumped by an external light source. Since all the plasmons are carried on a graphene platform, the structure features coherent surface plasmons with high confinement and large life time. All the structures are analyzed theoretically using full quantum mechanical description. The main advantage of the proposed SPASER is its simple tuning capability of changing graphene's Fermi level, which is performed by either...
