چکیده

An optically pumped ZnO nanowire laser with a 10-period SiO2/SiNx distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) was demonstrated. Stimulated emissions with equally distributed Fabry–Pérot lasing modes were observed at pumping powers larger than 121 kW/cm2. This result, when compared to nanowires of the same length and without a DBR structure, shows that a lower threshold of pumping power, higher quality factor, and larger cavity finesse can be achieved due to the high reflectivity of the DBR in the designed wavelength range. A coexistence of stimulated and spontaneous emissions was also observed above threshold and was attributed to partially confined waveguide modes in nanowires with diameters smaller than 100 nm.

Exciton localization and optical properties improvement in nanocrystal-embedded ZnO core-shell nanowires.

We present a comparative investigation of the morphological, structural, and optical properties of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires (NWs) before and after high energy argon ion (Ar(+)) milling. It is found that the outer regions of the as-grown sample change from crystalline to amorphous, and ZnO core-shell NWs with ZnO nanocrystals embedded are formed after Ar(+) milling. Optical properties of...
