Abstract
The interaction of plasmons in spaser with saturable absorber leads to pulse generation under passive Q-switching. A distributed scheme of spaser that represents a groove on metal surface filled with active medium is considered. The Maxwell–Bloch equations are used to describe generation of 1D plasmons in such a distributed spaser. The operation of the system as a terahertz clock oscillator is demonstrated with the aid of numerical experiment.
