Multipeak ultraviolet lasing based on F-P mode from in-situ ZnO nanowire

Abstract High-quality ultraviolet singlemode and multimode lasing from zinc oxide nanowires are highly desirable. In this paper, we achieve high-Q lasing oscillation in vertically grown Zinc oxide (ZnO) microwires. The broad gain range reaches 13 lasing modes under high-energy excitation. We observe multiple peak emissions from the Fabry-Perot (F-P) lasing mode. In contrast, nanorod arrays with low aspect ratios exhibit amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) due to significant diffraction losses. Our work demonstrates that high-quality ZnO nanowires with an appropriate aspect ratio realize high-Q ultraviolet multipeak lasing based on F-P mode. These findings will benefit the design and fabrication of nanolasers based on nanowires.
