Femtosecond laser ablation of ZnO nanorods for two-photon-pumped random lasing and optical data storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Femtosecond laser ablation based on two-photon absorption was employed to cut ZnO nanorods into uniform ZnO nanoparticles of deep subwavelength size. The fabricated ZnO nanoparticles possess a shorter mean transport length for photons at the emission wavelength and a much smaller scattering cross section at the pump wavelength, leading to highly efficient two-photon-pumped random lasing with a low threshold of ∼8 mJ/cm2. It was demonstrated that the significant enhancement in two-photon luminescence after the irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses could also be utilized for realizing optical data storage.

We report in this communication the two-photon absorption (TPA)-induced room-temperature lasing performance of ZnO nanowires. Under femtosecond pulse-excitation at lambda = 700 nm in the infrared regime, a remarkably low threshold of 160 microJ/cm(2) was observed for the TPA-induced lasing action, which is of the same order of magnitude as that measured for the linear lasing process. Time-resol...

Two-photon-pumped dye lasers are very important because of their applications in wavelength up-conversion, optical data storage, biological imaging and photodynamic therapy. Such lasers are very difficult to realize in the solid state because of the aggregation-caused quenching. Here we demonstrate a new two-photon-pumped micro-laser by encapsulating the cationic pyridinium hemicyanine dye into...
