Lasing Characteristics of Single and Assembled Nanowires

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Semiconductor Nanostructures for Optoelectronic Devices

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

This chapter reviews the current achievement in realization of single-nanowire and assembled nanowire semiconductor lasers. Lasing conditions and emission mechanisms of single and assembled nanowires are also described. Furthermore, the main difficulties to obtain effective emission from nanowire semiconductor lasers under electrical excitation are discussed.
