Plasmonic dark modes are promising candidates for lasing applications. Here, Hakalaet al. show lasing at visible wavelengths in dark and bright modes of an array of silver nanoparticles combined with optically pumped dye molecules, opening up a route to utilization of all modes of plasmonic lattices.
