摘要
We report room-temperature ultraviolet stimulated emission and lasing from optically pumped high-quality ZnO nanowires. Emission due to the exciton-exciton scattering process shows apparent stimulated-emission behavior. Several sharp peaks associated with random laser action are seen under high pumping intensity. The mechanism of laser emission is attributed to coherent multiple scattering among the random-growth oriented nanowires. The characteristic cavity length is determined by the Fourier transform of the lasing spectrum. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
