We review principles and trends in the use of semiconductor nanowires as gain media for
stimulated emission and lasing. Semiconductor nanowires have recently been widely …

Semiconductor nanowires have attracted much attention for photonic applications,
especially for lasers, because of their availability in a wide variety of materials and …

We report the successful demonstration of all-optical switching using a subwavelength
InP/InAsP nanowire integrated in a silicon photonic crystal at telecommunication …

Subwavelength semiconductor nanowires have recently attracted interest for photonic

Nano-lasers are promising devices with which we realize ultracompact coherent light
sources with low power consumption for intra-chip interconnects and photonic networks-on …

Here we report the successful demonstration of lasing oscillation in a subwavelength
semiconductor nanowire (100 nm in diameter) at telecom wavelengths. Although a …

We report on the fabrication, nanomanipulation, and optical properties of ZnO-nanowire-
induced nanocavities in grooved SiN photonic crystals. We show that subwavelength ZnO …

We propose a nonlinear-optics-based nanosensor to detect malachite green (MG)
contaminants on semiconductor interfaces such as silicon (Si). Applying the simplified bond …

Three different configurations of GaN are analysed to show robust and tunable light emitters
from localised point defects induced in GaN crystal by a femtosecond laser (fs-laser) …

When two chains of quantum systems are driven at their ends by a two-mode squeezed
reservoir, they approach a steady state characterized by the formation of many entangled …
