RESUMO
We demonstrated a monolithic GaN-InGaN core-shell nanorod lattice lasing under room temperature. The threshold pumping density was as low as 140 kW/cm2 with a quality factor as high as 1940. The narrow mode spacing between lasing peaks suggested a strong coupling between adjacent whisper gallery modes (WGM), which was confirmed with the far-field patterns. Excitation area dependent photoluminescence revealed that the long-wavelength lasing modes dominated the collective lasing behavior under a large excitation area. The excitation-area-dependent lasing behavior resulted from the prominent optical coupling among rods. According to the optical mode simulations and truncated-rod experiments, we confirmed that the fine-splitting of lasing peaks originated from the coupled supermodes existing in the periodic nanorod lattices. With wavelength-tunable active materials and a wafer-level scalable processing, patterning optically coupled GaN-InGaN core-shell nanorods is a highly practical approach for building various on-chip optical components including emitters and coupled resonator waveguides in visible and ultraviolet spectral range.
