Mode Profiling of Semiconductor Nanowire Lasers.

چکیده
We experimentally determine the lasing mode(s) in optically pumped semiconductor nanowire lasers. The spatially resolved and angle-resolved far-field emission profiles of single InP nanowire lasers lying horizontally on a SiO2 substrate are characterized in a microphotoluminescence (μ-PL) setup. The experimentally obtained polarization dependent far-field profiles match very well with numerical simulations and enable unambiguous identification of the lasing mode(s). This technique can be applied to characterize lasing modes in other type of nanolasers that are integrated on a substrate in either vertical or horizontal configurations.

Size reduction of a semiconductor nanowire laser using metal coating
We explore the possibility of coating semiconductor nanowires with metal (Ag) to reduce the size of nanowire lasers operating at photon energies around 0.8–2 eV. Our results show that the material gain of a typical III-V semiconductor in nanowire may be sufficient to compensate Joule losses of such metal as Ag. The most promising mode to achieve lasing seem to be TM01 near its cutoff. To calcul...

We propose a platform to achieve ultra-high Quality factor (Q) optical resonators based on semiconductor nanowires. By defining onedimensional photonic crystal at nanowire ends and engineering the microcavity pattern, cavities with Q of 3 x 10(5) and mode volume smaller than 0.2(lambda/n)(3) have been designed. This represents an increase of almost three orders of magnitude over the Quality fac...
