\section{Nanolasers}  While most semiconductor operate at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths very few function at the infrared or near infrared. But Infrared lasers are important for spectroscopy and optical data communication. Saxena and coworkers demonstrate room temperature lasing for a core-shell-cap NW of GaAs-AlGaAs-GaAs \cite{Saxena_2013} Myer and coworkers also found that a AlGaAs shell inhibits non-radiative surface recombination, which allows for clear near infrared laser production.\cite{Mayer_2013} Single mode emission Sub diffraction limited wavelengths can be achieved coupling light to surface plasmons – conduction electrons that oscillate collectively  at 10Khz with the surface of a metal
