This research demonstrates that spatial coherence can be achieved at room temperature using plasmonic nanogap arrays without requiring cryogenic cooling or lasers. By leveraging strong near-field coupling to synchronize emissive dipoles under continuous-wave illumination, the study opens a scalable pathway for photonic and quantum technologies with ultralow mode volumes. The ability to maintain collective behavior in driven-dissipative systems represents a significant step toward practical applications of non-equilibrium quantum phenomena.
Nanomaterial Arrays Achieve Spatial Coherence Without Lasers or Condensates

Coherence usually demands extreme cold or precisely tuned lasers, yet this system achieves spatial synchronisation of light-emitting elements at room temperature. Previously, such collective behaviour required cryogenic conditions and complex fabrication, or resulted in highly directional light emission. Now, a two-dimensional array of nanogaps demonstrates a coordinated glow without spectral narrowing, offering a new route to explore collective photonic effects.
Arul and colleagues at University of Cambridge, in collaboration with University of St Andrews and University of California San Diego, have formed a spatially coherent state within locally-ordered nanogap arrays under continuous-wave illumination. Unlike conventional laser systems, this driven-dissipative system prioritises spatial coherence over temporal coherence, exhibiting rapid emission decay and complex spatial correlations. The formation provides a new platform for exploring synchronisation phenomena without the need for cryogenic cooling, potentially enabling scalable photonic and quantum technologies with ultralow mode…
