Abstract

Room-temperature lasing in ZnO nanowires is often thought to be of excitonic nature. However, our measurements, using three different excitation schemes, show that excitons are not involved. The laser thresholds and Fabry-Pérot laser modes can all be excellently explained by our recent many-body theory.
