New practical ways to reach the lasing effect in symmetrical metasurfaces have been developed and theoretically demonstrated. Our approach is based on excitation of the resonance of an octupole quasi-trapped mode (OQTM) in heterostructured symmetrical metasurfaces composed of monolithic disk-shaped van der Waals meta-atoms featured by thin photoluminescent layers and placed on a substrate. We revealed that the coincidence of the photoluminescence spectrum maximum of these layers with the wavelength of high-quality OQTM resonance leads to the lasing effect. Based on the solution of laser rate equations and direct full-wave simulation, it was shown that lasing is normally oriented to the metasurface plane and occurs from the entire area of metasurface consisting of MoS/hBN/MoTe disks with line width of generated emission of only about 1.4 nm near the wavelength 1140 nm. This opens up new practical possibilities for creating surface emitting laser devices in subwavelength material systems.

Parity-time (PT) symmetry is an active research area that provides a variety of new opportunities for different systems with novel functionalities. For instance, PT symmetry has been used in lasers and optoelectronic oscillators to achieve single-frequency lasing or oscillation. A single-frequency system is essentially a static PT-symmetric system, whose frequency is time-invariant.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have undergone rapid development in the fields of solar cells, light diodes, lasing, photodetectors, etc. However, the MHPs still face significant challenges, such as poor stability and heterocompositing with other functional materials at the single nanoparticle level. Herein, the successful synthesis of well-dispersed CsPbBr@TiO heterostructure nanocrystals (NCs) is reported, in which each heterostructure NC has only one CsPbBr with a precise anatase TiO coating ranging from asymmetric to symmetric.

We suppose that the quantum wire is made of a nonmagnetic gain material, characterized with the aid of the "active" imaginary part of the complex refractive index. The emergence of lasers integrating plasmonic effects marks a significant trend in contemporary photonics.

Parity-time (PT) symmetry has been unveiling new photonic regimes in non-Hermitian systems, with opportunities for lasing, sensing and enhanced light-matter interactions. The most exotic responses emerge at the exceptional point (EP) and in the broken PT-symmetry phase, yet in conventional PT-symmetric systems these regimes require large levels of gain and loss, posing remarkable challenges in practical settings. Floquet PT-symmetry, which may be realized by periodically flipping the effective gain/loss distribution in time, can relax these requirements and tailor the EP and PT-symmetry phases through the modulation period.
