UV Lasing Near the First ΓL-Pseudogap of ZnO Inverse Opals
Optics InfoBase Conference Papers
Abstract
We demonstrate room temperature UV lasing of ZnO photonic crystals. Tuning the first Γ-L pseudogap to the gain spectrum leads to a five-fold reduction in lasing threshold due to the enhanced confinement of light.
