Three-photon absorption induced whispering gallery mode lasing in ZnO twin-rods microstructure

摘要

The ZnO twin-rods microstructure synthesized by hydrothermal method was employed as a whispering gallery mode lasing microcavity. The growth mechanism of the ZnO twin-rods single crystal was analyzed. Three-photon absorption induced whispering gallery mode lasing with low threshold was observed under the excitation of femtosecond pulses at 800 nm. The spectra from the individual branch and the connection part were investigated, and the whispering gallery mode lasing mechanism was discussed.
